MOREAU

None escape!

When a traumatised hospital patient suddenly becomes violent, he is forced to process the horrors of his past and present, challenging everything he knows. Will he find inner peace before he is permanently written off as broken and dangerous? Is it ever possible to truly escape the clutches of MOREAU?

A modern and contemporary take on the science fiction horror classic The Island of Dr Moreau by HG Wells, MOREAU reimagines the story to explore memory, therapy, identity, rebellion and ultimately, hope.

Directed and co-written by emerging theatre-maker Phil Stewart (as part of his MA in Theatre Directing at the University of East Anglia), MOREAU is the first production from Exciting Stories, his new production company dedicated to enabling neurodivergent talent to produce fringe theatre, audio drama and short films.

MOREAU is an Exciting Stories and CHUDATSI co-production.
