His grandmother won't stop interfering and the kids at school won't look him in the eye. Then, one night, Conor is woken by something at his window. A monster has come walking. It's come to tell Conor tales from when it walked before. And when it's finished, Conor must tell his own story and face his deepest fears.

Based on the novel by Patrick Ness, A MONSTER CALLS is directed by Sally Cookson, with Felix Hayes as Remount Director and Adam Peck as the writer in the room.
