The Monster Tales
By Mary Jett Parsley

Directed by Barlow Adamson & John Edward O’Brien

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 and maestros can make music with only their hands and where grief and love are the two most powerful emotions.

Aunt Dan and Lemon
By Wallace Shawn

Directed by Bridget Kathleen O'Leary

Step inside Lenora's London flat: she has a tale to tell. It's a tale from her childhood, when she spent her summer evenings listening to her parents' glamorous and cosmopolitan friend Danielle weave stories about her loves and lovers, her escapades and adventures. A quiet and withdrawn child, Lemon escapes into the often seedy world of Aunt Dan's stories: lost in the adventure of it, but often without fully understanding it.

Aunt Dan and Lemon is both an acutely trenchant comedy and a chilling cautionary tale about the unintentional lessons that children can learn.
