About this Event
Patrick Ness’s piercing novel A Monster Calls is brought to the stage in a powerful new adaptation by visionary director Sally Cookson. Thirteen-year-old Conor and his mum have managed just fine since his dad moved to America. But now his mum’s very sick and she’s 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, at seven minutes past midnight, 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.
Your deluxe transportation includes a box dinner with your choice of chicken or tuna salad on artisan white bread served with a pickle, chips, and cookie. Also included are a complimentary glass of champagne, bottled water, free wifi, charging stations, and in-transit movie TBD.
