From Director Max Bethel: A Monster Calls is a powerful, moving theatrical experience based on Patrick Ness’s award-winning novel. As thirteen-year-old Conor struggles with his mother’s terminal illness, an ancient visitor arrives at his window each night, demanding the truth he cannot face. Blending imagination, breathtaking storytelling, and raw emotion, this production explores grief, courage, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. It’s a hauntingly beautiful journey that stays with you long after the final curtain.”
