Mill 6 presents the New England Premiere of The Monster Tales by Mary Jett Parsley, directed by Barlow Adamson & John Edward O'Brien
April 30 - May 20, 2011, at the Factory Theatre in Boston
Performed in repertory with Whistler in the Dark
for our month long series Stories, Fables & Lies
In this lovely and fantastical fable a young woman discovers her singular humanity when a monster appears from under her bed one night. The woman and the monster tell each other a series of original tales where children grow in gardens, maestros can make music with only their hands and grief and love are the two most powerful emotions.

Irene Daly, Nathaniel Gundy, Becca A. Lewis, Lonnie McAdoo & Elizabeth Rimar. Our technical and design staff include Brett Bundock, Bonnie Duncan, Benjamin Janey, Kathy Maloney & PJ Strachman. Original music written and performed by Sarah Rabdau.
