SCRIPT SAMPLE
“Magically, through all the monkeyshines,
Murray manages to bring us closer to an understanding of the exquisite
pain of love as practiced by the human animal.” - VARIETY
"Frisky, unruly, provocative show" - LA
Times
“Magnificently done. Murray mirrors us all brilliantly
here. Comedic, tragic and dark, Monkey Adored is superlative in execution, story
and performance” - LA Theatre Review
“An opposable thumbs-up!” - EyespyLA
“There are shades of George Orwell's classic
allegorical novel Animal Farm in playwright Henry Murray's profound
seriocomic fable of animals plotting a revolt against their brutal treatment by
humans. The animal characters impart incisive reflections on the foibles,
insecurities, and redeeming characteristics of people, underlined by our need
for emotional connection.” - BACKSTAGE: Critic’s Pick
