2017 and 2022 Alum Ngozi Anyanwu’s new play THE MONSTERS receives its world premiere production at Manhattan Theatre Club, in a co-production with Two River Theatre!

For a long time, LIL has been obsessed with fighting, and one fighter in particular: her older brother BIG, an aging but successful figure in the local Mixed Martial Arts circuit. But she’s been doing it all from afar… until one day when she decides to show up on his doorstep. Written and directed by Ngozi Anyanwu (Good Grief, The Homecoming Queen, The Last of the Love letters) this world premiere is a sibling love story about reunions, resentment, reconnection, and wrestling with demons.
