Duck Macatarsney cares for her biker dad, Duke, whose MS is getting worse. Duke is a spliff-smoking (for medicinal reasons you understand), bike-riding, heavy-metal- and horror-movie-loving, pizza-eating widower who has brought up Duck since the death of her mum in a crash. The two of them are just about surviving when one morning the Duke wakes up blind and the Duck hears Social Services are coming to take her away.
The Monster in the Hall follows Duck as she tries to protect her world from the terrifying prospect of change.
David Greig's The Monster in the Hall premiered at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in autumn 2010, and was staged at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in 2011 as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
David Greig is a writer and theatre director. He was born in Edinburgh in 1969. His play Europe was performed at the Traverse Theatre in 1994. Since then, his plays, adaptations and musical scripts have been performed widely in the UK and around the world. In 1990 he co-founded Suspect Culture, who produced collaborative, experimental work until their funding was ended in 2010. In 2016 he became the Artistic Director of Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum Theatre. In 2023 he published his first novel, Columba's Bones.
