A Monster Calls
by Patrick Ness
Directed by Calum Grant.
SYNOPSIS
Setting: Present day
Conor has the same nightmare every night, ever since his mother fell ill. But one night is different. On this night, when he awakens from his nightmare, there is a monster at the window. The monster wants something from Conor. It wants the truth.
The play is Conor’s story as he has to cope with school bullies, his emotionally detached grandmother, his absentee father and most importantly coming to terms with his mother’s upcoming death. Conor’s truth is the harsh reality that part of him wants her suffering to be over and part of him wants it to be over.
