Kit Thompson presents

Monster'd

written by Paloma Oakenfold & directed by George Richmond-Scott & Paloma Oakenfold

Monster’d is a bold, messy, heart-wrenching and hilarious new play about a girl named Aurelie, created in a lab by a scientist who just wanted a friend.

She’s a monster. She’s a child. She’s Shakespeare. She’s an outcast. She’s us.

In a chaotic mash-up of Frankenstein, school trauma, institutional gaslighting and the complete works of the Bard, Aurelie fights to be seen in a world that tells her she's broken.

It’s a story about neurodivergence, self-worth, resilience, and what it really means to belong.

“A moving and deftly constructed piece of autobiographical theatre - full of insight, emotion and abundant imagination.” - David Byrne, Artistic Director & CEO, The Royal Court Theatre.

OUR HISTORY

The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.

The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
