Monument

Monument is Rhys Warrington’s world-premiere play about memory, grief and the politics of remembrance. In a Welsh village hall, a close-knit farming community gathers to debate a proposed memorial after a tragedy has torn local lives apart. With the eyes of the wider world watching, old loyalties and competing ideas about the community’s future come sharply into conflict—and the audience’s vote helps determine how the meeting ends. Directed by Francesca Goodridge, the production is presented by the Royal Court and Sherman Theatre.
