Cast Set For the Premiere of TRANSGRESSION at The White Bear Theatre

The cast has been announced for the premiere of Transgression at the White Bear Theatre. It’s the 1990s and the societal revolution to smash the nuclear family is on the horizon. A psychoanalyst battles against the demise of established traditions, while younger women debate pregnancy and the relevance of a father’s name on a birth certificate. It’s all an uphill campaign to rattle the patriarchy until a father and son face the unthinkable. When the dust settles a new birth order awaits future generations. Transgression by Loretta Monaco, directed by Bryan Oliver, is a ferociously funny play. Cast: Bruce Allinson, Alexandra Etudor, Zara Hadeshian, Jonathan Hansler, Abigail Moore.

Loretta Monaco  - writer
Loretta  is a writer who enjoys exploring the witty aspects of seemingly complex and fraught-ridden relationships. While based in New York, she worked with comedic ideas to drive home disparities in political and social structures, receiving both praise and condemnation for plays that dramatise fissures in concepts of democracy and the sanctity of family relationships. Prior to moving to London in 1990, she joined Working Stages, a Manhattan-based theatre company, which produced a compilation of her short plays Off-off-Broadway ie, What's the Matter with Mother?; Raymond You Sonofabitch; and Labyrinth. Once in London, Loretta joined The Playwrights' Cooperative, during which time she enjoyed rehearsed readings of her work at White Bear Theatre, London and other venues in and around the city centre. In 2015 she wrote and directed Testimony, a comedic drama set in a courthouse that played to sold-out audiences – earning both rave reviews and damning criticism – at the Etcetera Theatre, London. Presently, she hopes audiences will enjoy the tragic/comedic couplings in Transgression while appreciating the difficulties in sustaining equilibrium in modern-day relationships.
