Acclaimed director Sally Cookson (Jane Eyre) brings the hit novel A Monster Calls to vivid life on stage, coming to the King's Theatre Edinburgh Tue 7 to Sat 11 April 2020.
Thirteen-year-old Conor and his mum have managed just fine since his dad moved away. But now his mum is sick and not getting any better. His grandmother won’t stop interfering and the kids at school won’t look him in the eye. Then, one night, Conor is woken by something at his window. A monster has come walking. It’s come to tell Conor tales from when it walked before. And when it’s finished, Conor must tell his own story and face his deepest fears.
This truthful, hopeful and human story is beautifully told by a large ensemble cast through imaginative staging, combining physical theatre and digital projections alongside an original musical score performed live on stage.
