Dear Young Monster (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839044991)

"Powerful and well-thought through...a queer hidden gem." -BroadwayWorld

A young trans man, struggling as he begins his medical transition, drops out of university and retreats to his quiet hometown. His friends are gone. The neighbors are watching. His body is changing faster than he can make sense of it...until a midnight screening of Frankenstein offers him a strange kind of salvation. Staring into the monster's big, dead, sad eyes, something finally clicks: for the first time, he feels seen.

Vivid, witty, and humane, Dear Young Monster is Pete MacHale's debut solo show, delving into fear, otherness, and what it means to embrace being the monster the world keeps telling you that you are.
