Rogue Machine Theatre performs the world premiere of Henry Murray's Monkey Adored, a unique theatrical experience directed by John Perrin Flynn. When the monkey is taken to the animal testing lab, the dog must choose between his loyalty to humans and the use of violence to free the animal he loves. Part wartime drama, part tender love story and part sex farce, Monkey Adored follows the exploits of a group of animals in a human-dominated society. Monkey Adored uses actors, puppetry and projection to tell its one-of-a-kind story.

I enjoyed the freshness and spontaneity of the production. I had no clue where it was going but really enjoyed the ride. I was constantly fascinated by the premise and the originality of the characters. I recommend this for anyone who is adventurous and loving.

Description

A World Premiere
Written by Henry Murray
Directed by John Perrin Flynn
Featuring Ron Bottitta, Patrick Flanagan, Amanda Mauer, David Mauer, Justin Okin, Jennifer Taub and Edward Tournier

Multi-award winning Rogue Machine launches its sixth world premiere production in Los Angeles. Monkey Adored, by the writer who captivated critics with his "visually and emotionally gripping" Treefall.

"This is a script that has been in my life for a long time. Slowly evolving through various readings at The Kennedy Center, Theatricum Botanicum, and a week-long workshop with The Inkwell Theatre in Washington, DC," reflects playwright Henry Murray. "I am very confident that Rogue Machine is the place to complete its development, with John Perrin Flynn at the helm."

The dog is in love with the monkey, who may be having an affair with the cat who's smitten with the rat...and let's not even talk about what the humans are up to. This allegorical and uniquely staged performance utilizes actors, puppetry, and projection in a collision of the comedic and the tragic. It is a tender love story that reeks of a ribald sex farce, set in a brutally violent world where compassion and understanding might still have a chance.
