MONSTER

About the show

Duncan Macmillan's Monster asks what responsibility we bear for the violence of our boys and men - and how far empathy can truly reach. A teacher is given the job of saving a lonely, violent teenage boy on the brink of permanent expulsion. Alone in the classroom, an intense battle of wills takes place - but what can be done when a child is afraid of nothing and cares for no one? Gripping, provocative and urgent, Monster doesn't offer easy answers, instead challenging audiences to consider: Are monsters inside all of us? Are they born, or are they shaped? What do we owe the monsters we've made?
