Merrells has collaborated with director Steven Berkoff, first on a world tour of the play Coriolanus. Terry Malloy appeared in On the Waterfront, directed by Berkoff, in 2009. According to Variety, "compact and bristling with contained energy, Simon Merrells has the right physical appearance to play Terry, but he never fully emerges from Brando's long shadow; the Independent says he "brings his own brand of studied vulnerability and sullen pride to the role."
Merrells appeared in Much Ado About Nothing at the Liverpool Playhouse in 2007, and in another Berkoff performance in the same venue in 2011.
