Monster

Craning Neck Theatre workshow series, in co-production with Theatre Conspiracy, presents Erik Ehn's new Saint Play Monster this April 29-May 13, 2012, at Chapel Arts. The second part of a three-phase project, Monster will world premiere next spring 2013.

Monster, a new Saint Play by Ehn, is the story of two women: St. Clare, an ascetic nun of the 13th century, and Reena, an art teacher stricken by poverty and sickness in present-day Vancouver. As in all the works in Ehn's Saint Plays cycle, Monster examines thecommon pathways of secular and religious existence. Deconstructing the meta-narrative of the Christian canon, Ehn strips the saints and the people around them to their most human components.
