Ngozi Anyanwu writes and directs The Monsters: A Sibling Love Story in New York. BIG is a celebrated fighter in the local mixed martial arts scene, but his star is fading as he gets older. His younger and less-famous sister, LIL, has been training from afar... until she shows up on his doorstep, ready for a fair fight of her own — with her brother. See how it all unfolds in The Monsters off Broadway as Anyanwu unlocks the tension, ferocity, and love that have defined a brother and a sister for their entire lives.

More information about The Monsters
Ngozi Anyanwu is the author of several plays, including Good Grief, The Homecoming Queen, The Last of the Love Letters, and, most recently at Steppenwolf in Chicago, Leroy and Lucy. She now returns to New York with a jolting world premiere: a unique sibling love (and rivalry) story about reunions, resentment, reconnection — and how we're never quite done wrestling with our demons.
A fiery play with a premise like no other, The Monsters: A Sibling Love Story pits older brother against younger sister in a singular, refreshing format. Sometimes, the ones we fight with the most are those we also love the most. And after spending time away from your sibling, do old wounds heal, or do they fester?
Discover the unparalleled theatricality, smarts, and fight of this new play at Manhattan Theatre Club, a Pulitzer Prize-winning theatre known for originating many modern-day classics like Proof, Doubt: A Parable, and others.
