Monkeyface

Thu 8 - Sat 10 Jan 2026

Trapped within the four walls of a university bedroom, our title character navigates the euphoric highs and crushing lows of Freshers week, toxic friendships, club culture, and the aching need for connection. 

Monkeyface is the bold, debut play by writer-performer Raphael Phillips, that journeys through the themes of racism, mental health, and loneliness.
