Monsters of Man: A Supernatural Anthology

Fringe 2019 – Monsters of Man: Venturing into the Unknown

Monsters of Man: A Supernatural Anthology is a collection of nine short plays by writer-director Sarah Ruttan, and produced by MB Stage Productions. It is a seated theatrical performance with no audience interaction. A world premiere for the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019, the show combines horror, sci-fi, and a healthy dose of surrealism throughout its one-hour running time. Each story explores a connection between this world and another, often (but not always) to the despair of each protagonist. It’s a stranger Black Mirror, and a more intimate Lovecraft.

The show is at its best when walking the line between the weird and the familiar. “Heartbeat” tells the tale of a grieving widow (Layna Martinez) attempting to reconnect with society, only to be visited by the lost soul she had nearly laid to rest. “Waiting Room” is a quiet, sweet sci-fi story about a mysterious medical procedure – a merciful exit for those who can
