First developed and workshopped at South Coast Repertory’s annual Pacific Playwrights Festival in 2025, celebrated new “it” playwright Talene Monahon’s freshly birthed play EAT ME is currently being presented at OC’s Tony Award-winning regional theater as a fully-formed World Premiere production directed by Caitlin Sullivan. The new work continues performances at its Costa Mesa home through May 3. Equally intriguing and confounding, the brand new play, honestly, comes off for me as one of those creatively-ambitious but somewhat incomplete stage experiments that left me with more questions than answers.
South Coast Repertory has released first look footage of EAT ME, the world premiere of Talene Monahon's wildly imaginative new play, now playing through May 3, 2026 at the Julianne Argyros Stage as part of the Pacific Playwrights Festival.
