'Stories are wild creatures', the monster said. 'When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?'
Thirteen-year-old Conor has always managed just fine with his mum, even after his dad left. But now, everything's changing. His mum is seriously ill, his grandmother always meddling, and the kids at school… well, they're not the friends he thought any more.
One night, Conor hears a stirring from the trees at his window. A monster has come calling. A monster with ancient stories to share. Through their midnight visits, Conor confronts his deepest fears and discovers unexpected truths about love, loss, and healing.
A Monster Calls, based on the novel by Patrick Ness and inspired by an original idea by Siobhan Dowd, devised by Sally Cookson, Adam Peck and the Company, comes alive on stage at the Everyman this summer, directed by Nathan Crossan-Smith and performed by the YEP Actors 18-25 Company.
