Monkeyface

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Monkeyface is a witty, poignant, and well-written piece” - Afridiziak Theatre News

Trapped within the four walls of a university bedroom, ‘Monkeyface’ navigates the euphoric highs and crushing lows of Freshers Week, toxic friendships, club culture, and the aching need for connection. What begins as something relatable (flatmates, cliques, and the messy thrill of queer nightlife) slowly unravels into a raw portrait of a young Black Gay student fighting to stay afloat inside a world not built to hold him.
