Photos: First Look at Ngozi Anyanwu & Sullivan Jones in THE MONSTERS at Berkeley Rep
The Monsters will run through May 3, 2026.
Check out brand-new production photos from the West Coast premiere of Ngozi Anyanwu’s The Monsters performing at Berkeley Rep’s Peet’s Theatre from Friday, March 27, through Sunday, May 3, 2026.
For years, LIL has observed her estranged brother from the shadows — watching, waiting, studying every punch he throws. BIG, an aging but respected force in the local Mixed Martial Arts circuit, remains unaware his little sister has been tracking his career from afar… until she appears unexpectedly on his doorstep. A co-production with La Jolla Playhouse, The Monsters delivers an emotional knockout and wrestles with the demons we must face to reconnect, rebuild, and forgive.
Written by and starring award-winning playwright Ngozi Anyanwu (Good Grief, The Homecoming Queen, The Last of the Love Letters), The Monsters features Anyanwu alongside San Francisco Bay Area–born actor Sullivan Jones (HBO’s The Gilded Age, Slave Play on Broadway).
