Love Thy Monster
T511153668
Blending multiple texts that include Shakespeare's Othello and interviews with boxer Mike Tyson and actor Patrick Stewart, this intimate solo show peels back the layers of masculinity to reveal the monster underneath us all. As the stories of both Tyson, a professionally violent persona, and Stewart, who stood between his mother and violent father, unfold against the backdrop of Shakespeare's brutal depiction of violence against women, the narratives intertwine. The differences between victim, perpetrator, role model and narrator begin to blur, questioning the nature and source of male aggression.
