You will not want to miss the world premiere of Monster, a stunning new show about love, identity and random acts of violence. Monster comes to London’s Park theatre for a limited run this summer so be sure to book your tickets now to avoid disappointment. 

Abigail Hood’s Monster

We find ourselves in a desolate playground in Glasgow in 2006. We meet troubled teenagers Kayleigh Grey and Zoe Douglas. The two teens play dare, flirt and dream of running away and living together on the tiny Isle of Muck. 

Miss Hastie is a teacher and although she has been cautioned to steer clear, she finds herself unexplainably drawn into the two girl’s magnetic field of chaos. When Kayleigh’s mother tries to keep her daughter under her manipulative control the result is far different and much worse than anyone would ever have imagined.

With a small cast of 6, this compelling new contemporary play examines a person’s need for love and the powerful forces that lurk behind random acts of violence. How much control, if any, do we truly have over who we are and what we will become? Is our future defined by our past? Is it possible to leave past mistakes behind us, to truly forget the people we once were and start over again? Are we damned to be haunted, hounded and hunted by our pasts forever?

The Veritas Theatre Company and Kepow return to London’s Park Theatre with this new production following the successes of their previous shows in 2018 and 2019 Spiral, Beneath the Blue Rinse and The Answer.

Compelling drama, brilliantly acted. Sensational.

We go to the theatre a lot and this is possibly the best play we've seen this year. Thought provoking and compelling, it's not for the faint hearted, but your life will be better for the experience. The audience is seated on the stage with the actors, making it almost immersive. At the intermission, the man in the row behind us summed it up, WOW! The review in the Evening Standard must be for a different play to the one we saw, or maybe critics need to learn that their job is to be critical, not to criticise! This is theatre in the raw, but sometimes, so is life! We shall look forward to Abigail Hoods next play.
