Call 212-868-4030 for School Mat or Opening Night reservations.Inspired by a true story, MONSTER takes place in a California
desert suburb where Vietnamese-American detective Tang Tran investigates
the disappearance of a high school student following a brutal
hate crime. MONSTER is a noir-esque production that uses multi-media
to create an atmosphere where perspective manipulates objectivity
and guilt fuses with innocence, revealing that Monsters don't
only live underneath our beds—they also live within us.
Derek Nguyen’s plays include MOTHER'S MILK (Mark
Taper Forum commission), A SLIGHT ITCH (Y2K New Voices

York Theatre Workshop, IFP No Borders Program fellowship, Tribeca
Film Festival’s All-Access fellowship, and a Sundance Screenwriters
Lab fellowship.
