Four monstrous women gather because the mysterious fifth person of their group, Creature, has disappeared. And like many women who go missing, she’s ignored, particularly this group feels because she’s a monster. Monstrous Women explores searching for identity when you’re outcast and society fears you.
As the women search, they travel to their own memories and past to reexamine the lives they’ve created for themselves living on the boundaries and if they can change the societal fear of what it means to be female. When they discover the truth about Creature, they have to face their own questions: Are they the true monsters they’re accused of being or can they change their own stories? What happens when you don’t control the myths made about you?

    The Dramaturgy class at Weber State assisted in the development of this piece and did a reading. We found the characters really compelling and the language evocative. There are many excellent design opportunities here in all aspects. Highly recommend universities keep this on their radar as it develops.
