COOKIE & THE MONSTER Set for Hollywood Fringe
A f*cked up fact-based fairytale, Cookie & The Monster is a bruise-black comedy about coming of age in 90's suburbia.
Cookie is a precocious child growing up in 1990s Long Island under the tutelage of her id-incarnate Monster who helps her become the most popular girl in school by filling her head with bad advice and scaring off her competitors. But when puberty strikes and her Monster sticks around, Cookie gets caught up in all kinds of ne'er-do-well teenage adventures. Is the Monster steering Cookie toward salvation or is he leading her down a path of self-destruction? Full of sex, drugs, suburban angst - and one original song about the joys of cutting - Cookie & The Monster will make you laugh, cry, and wince.
