A banging new musical about an unremarkable teenager.
Expelled from school and not even able to get a job at the chippy, Jax (she/they/whatever) is a cocky, loveable teen living with her Nan in a tiny, boring village.
When Jax meets Ffion, with her smart talk and loud looks, sparks fly. Queer teenage lust brings together this unlikely match in all its messy, clumsy and awesome glory.
Feral Monster follows Jax and her noisy, opinionated brain as they navigate love, identity, class and family.
Mashing up grime, R&B, soul, pop and rap, the soundtrack takes us from the high highs to low lows of the hormonal rollercoaster of adolescence.
Feral Monster is written by Bethan Marlow and directed by Izzy Rabey, with music by Nicola T. Chang. The cast features Lily Beau, Carys Eleri, Geraint Rhys Edwards, Rebecca Hayes, Nathaniel Leacock and Leila Navabi.
“We’re trying to tell a story that is queer, that is Welsh, that is rural.” Bethan Marlow
