A Monster Calls


  • The Kennedy Center - Eisenhower Theater 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Performances May 25 - June 12 @8pm / Matinees @ 2pm on June 8 and June 12

A haunting tale of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined...

Patrick Ness’s piercing novel A Monster Calls comes direct from London in a powerful new adaptation by visionary director Sally Cookson. The Olivier Award-winning play follows thirteen-year-old Conor—and the monster who visits at night to tell tales from when it walked before. Don’t miss this “monster hit” (The Times) in its exclusive U.S. engagement at the Kennedy Center.

Recommended for age 10 and up.

Please note: this performance includes smoke and strobe light effects.
