Mill 6 Presents the New England Premiere of The Monster Tales
Opens April 30th, 2011, at the Factory Theatre in Boston
Running in our month-long repertory with Whistler in the Dark: Stories, Fables & Lies
In this lovely and fantastical fable a young woman discovers her singular humanity when a monster appears from under her bed one night. The woman and the monster tell each other a series of original tales where children grow in gardens and maestros can make music with only their hands and where grief and love are the two most powerful emotions.
“Touching and inordinately wise” – nytheatre.com
Artistic Director John Edward O'Brien and IRNE nominee Barlow Adamson will direct. The cast features Sasha Castroverde, Irene Daly, Nathaniel Gundy, Becca A. Lewis, Lonnie McAdoo & Liz Rimar.
Playwright Mary Jett Parsley attended college at Duke University and received her MFA in dramatic writing from NYU. She has been the recipient of a Playwrights Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council and a grant from the Pilgrim Project. Other plays include Right Side Wrong, First Born, Tar River Love Story and Locked Doors and Lightning Bugs, which received the Southeastern Theater Conference’s Charles M. Gretchell award and was a winner of the Charlotte Repertory Theatre’s New Plays in America Festival.
