Necessary Monsters is (at least) five different over-lapping stories, all called “Necessary Monsters”. In the first scene you meet two people on a blind date, and discover that one of them is a film editor, working on a low-budget horror film called Necessary Monsters. In the next scene, you meet two people in a club, and you realize that they are characters from the film mentioned in the first scene.

The characters are all connected by one huge tragic event, and the play moves relentlessly towards that final moment.
