Written by and starring BAFTA award-winning actress Monica Dolan
Dolan’s first solo play, a searing ‘What If?’ production, explores the pornification of our culture and the sexualisation of our children. In a society where sexuality and gender are such a huge part of who we are, how we identify, and how we are defined, The B*easts looks at how soon is too soon to strive for perceived sexual ideals. Can the journey to reach that supposed perfection start before we are even consciously aware of the journey we have begun? The B*easts follows the repercussions of an event which could plausibly present itself and unfold within today’s culture. The central concept of The B*easts invites us to examine our culture from an extreme perspective, taking a circumstance that we see as abhorrent and abnormal and showing how it can germinate in what we have come to regard as normality. As Tessa, the central character says, ‘you only have the choices you can see’. So when, and how, do you start noticing that your moral compass may be being directed by popular culture? Dolan is about the best actor on TV at the moment (Guardian). A fantastic actress (The Daily Telegraph). [A] superb performance (Independent).VenueUnderbelly Cowgate
