(San Francisco) The reviews are in and Monster in the Dark is a hit! This ensemble creation written by Doug Dorst and directed by Ben Yalom is a linguistically and visually sumptuous allegory of excesses very much present in present-day society (East Bay Express).

If you missed Monster in the Dark at the Ashby Stage, now is your chance to see it! foolsFURY Theaters Monster in the Dark is coming to San Francisco for a three-week run at CounterPULSE.

"Monster in the Dark" is a collaboration with novelist Doug Dorst that examines irrational fears and the dark mythologies that forever haunt our consciousness. "Monster in the Dark" tells the horrifying and darkly humorous tale about an end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it flood that threatens a peculiar and bizarrely familiar society. It is a world ruled by 'the Structure,' a shadowy government that monitors its citizens from beneath black umbrellas and within hidden towers. It is a place where business literally consumes you, Faith and Anxiety are preached daily on street corners, and people jump from the sky with the same frequency as rain. Life and society are threatened by a watery natural disaster, and the people of "Monster in the Dark" are challenged to redefine themselves and others; who can be trusted, who is necessary, and what is the greatest resource needed to survive.
