Monstrosity

The Theater at the School of Drama
May, 2017

A dark, epic tale of singing teenage fascists, magic, war, and love.

A disturbing retelling of the hero’s tale with a girl as the hero—and an unheroic ending.

 

The play is set in a fascist training camp for teenagers, where siblings Tierney and Patrick’s have been conscripted following the deaths of their resistance-leading parents.

The camp’s leader would like nothing better than to prove the virtue of his worldview by grooming the uniquely gifted Tierney as his successor.

His daughter Sarah, however, is bent on subverting his plan, trying instead to draw Tierney into her effort to construct a more peaceful, loving social order within their war-torn reality.
