A MONSTER CALLS, a powerful story of love, loss, truth and self-discovery, is beautifully rendered for the stage.

The production, now touring to the Kennedy Center, was adapted for the stage by visionary director Sally Cookson. Read our critic's review.
Patrick Ness’ novel A Monster Calls is a sharp and poignant look at loss in childhood and how death is approached by adults and children. First seen at the Bristol Old Vic in 2018, Sally Cookson’s heart-breaking stage production tries to make sense of illness and grief and how lying to children about death can be more damaging than telling the truth.
