Monster

An inexperienced teacher is assigned a troubled, violent teenager. Locked together in a classroom, they engage in a battle of words, will, and empathy. For the teacher, it is a test of his own limits; for the boy, a last chance. A raw, oppressive and urgent drama about authority, responsibility, and the search for connection to another human being shows how easily communication can turn into conflict and closeness into an impenetrable barrier. Award-winning playwright Duncan Macmillan’s play is not only a powerful story, but also a captivating encounter with three distinctive acting performances.
