Episode description
Writer/director Ngozi Anyanwu says that her play The Monsters is “a love letter to strong bodies, soft hearts.” Now playing at Manhattan Theatre Club, this intimate production is also a riveting sibling love story about what it takes to reconnect, forgive, and truly confront your inner demons. The Monsters cast members Okieriete “Oak” Onaodowan and Aigner Mizzelle, along with Anyanwu, choreographer Rickey Tripp, and MMA consultant Sijara Eubanks, share insights about the show’s mixed martial arts backdrop and why it feels so relevant, especially now.
