DARK FOREST THEATRE PRESENTS

​

A sinister tale of secrets, grief, and horror within a fractured family.

​

“The sunlight that once shone upon their faces began to fade.
And the beautiful face of the Princess turned slowly to stone.
The children she birthed were cursed—
not children at all, but monsters sent to harm her.”

 

Gabriel has returned—but he is not welcome. His mother, Claire, and his twin brother, Michael, have suffered unbearable losses. While they grieved, Gabriel adventured. Now he’s come back. The family is together again—though not completely.

It’s Mothers Day and there’s only one gift Claire truly wants: the whole family, reunited. Even the dead.

But some family secrets are better left buried. 

​

MONSTER, written and directed by Nathan Martin, is a chilling exploration of motherhood, grief, and the dark undercurrents that run through family ties. Twisting the idea of what it means to bear children—and to love them—this haunting production asks: how far can blood truly bind us?
