The Invention of Monsters / Plays for the Theatre

Somewhere between monologue and stage direction, the one-act plays in The Invention of Monsters / Plays for the Theatre center around what it means to be ill-cast in life. How it feels to wear a costume, a body, a face. How sex can be both transformative and nightmarish. Each scene-poem is the tip of an iceberg, evoking a larger performance rather than operating as a conventional script. A new kind of theatre text, these plays/poems beg to be performed, with exactly how depending entirely on the reader.
