Once, in a cave, there lived a big ugly monster. Perhaps the most ugly monster in the whole world. So ugly is the monster that he can turn a blue sky to snow and evaporate a pond just by dipping his toe in it. No living thing can stand to be in his presence and he finds himself completely alone with not even a blade of grass for company. He’s that ugly…
But the monster is not ugly on the inside; he’s just lonely; very, very lonely.
So he decides to build some friends out of stone, but not even stone can stand the full force of the monster’s smile, and all the stone animals shatter …except for one: a little stone rabbit...
Rik Mayall narrates this hilarious and heart-warming story of an ugly monster with a beautiful heart. Join us this year in a wonderful tale of friendship and laughter.
Adapted from the book of the same name by Chris Wormell, the big ugly monster will premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2007 prior to touring in Spring 2008.
Colourful, comic and full of theatrical magic, the big ugly monster promises to entertain and amaze the young and the young at heart!
Suitable for ages 3+
