For years, LIL has observed her estranged brother from the shadows \u2014 watching, waiting, studying every punch he throws. BIG, an aging but respected force in the local Mixed Martial Arts circuit, remains unaware his little sister has been tracking his career from afar\u2026 until she appears unexpectedly on his doorstep. A co-production with La Jolla Playhouse, The Monsters delivers an emotional knockout and wrestles with the demons we must face to reconnect, rebuild, and forgive.<\/p>\n
Written by and starring award-winning playwright Ngozi Anyanwu (Good Grief, The Homecoming Queen, The Last of the Love Letters), The Monsters features Anyanwu alongside San Francisco Bay Area\u2013born actor Sullivan Jones (HBO\u2019s The Gilded Age, Slave Play on Broadway).<\/p>\n
Directed by Tamilla Woodard, the creative team for The Monsters includes Adesola Osakalumi (Choreography), Nina Ball (Scenic Design), Celeste Jennings (Costume Design), Reza Behjat (Lighting Design), Bailey Trierweiler \/ UpTownWorks (Sound Design), and Kristy Bodall (Stage Manager).
