“It needs a touch of class to make this kind of ‘play for young adults’ work. And the superb use of video is just that. Visible Fictions has created a dynamic and thought-provoking play - one which speaks to all, young or old.”

Based on the award winning novel by Walter Dean Myers and scripted by Douglas Irvine

What is guilt? What is innocence? How do you judge a young boy on trial when he keeps the "wrong" company?

"Sometimes I feel like I have walked into the middle of a movie. Maybe I can make my own movie. The film will be the story of my life. No, not my life, but of this experience. I'll call it what the lady who is the prosecutor called me ... Monster."

A robbery takes place, a shopkeeper is killed and a teenager finds himself on trial for murder. But Steve Harmon is convinced he is innocent. The only way he copes is to tell his story like a film. But is his story reliable? Is he really as innocent as he claims or is he just a teenage menace?

Monster is an unsentimental and gripping tale of crime, truth and responsibility.

Visible Fictions, internationally renowned for theatrical storytelling, was thrilled to present a bold fusion of theatre and film in this dynamic production. Working closely with a multi media artist, using a mix of film, live action and a new music score, Monster was an exciting new addition to the repertoire of work of this award winning Company.

Suitable for young adults 11+
