Core Ensemble
David Mercer
Co-owner, Mercer Hayes Creative
David listens closely and remembers details. Those qualities make his attention attractive to Fatima and help him in business. Under pressure, he can treat his reading of another person’s wishes as permission to act. His account of his history with Renee can be checked against what he actually wrote and did. Toxic Dating — David and Fatima handle the ordinary pressure of schedules and offers of help with more direct conversation. Their relationship provides a quieter thread while Camille and the new ensemble reckon with the consequences at The Table. Toxic Loyalty — David’s email about Renee is part of the old chronology, and the choices he makes with Marcus affect the present viability of their agency. The same man has to give a credible account of both his personal actions and his business judgment.
