“I wouldn’t ask anybody to forgive anything. But in the theatre you have to try and understand people from different walks of life and with different points of view.”

Ryan on the role of theatre in exploring perspective rather than judgement.

“Productions as invigoratingly challenging as The Monk come along rarely. Ryan’s fearless script, invested performance matched only by a tech team at the top of their game.” - The Arts Review

This February, one story takes the stage.

The Monk at the Ambassador Theatre.

🎟 Tickets via link in bio.

[The Monk @TheMonkDublin]

The Monk isn’t just about one man.

Rex talks about how the story is rooted in a wider Dublin reality… a working-class city shaped by unemployment, neglect, and the long shadow of decisions made decades earlier.

[The Monk @TheMonkDublin]

Every story needs stakes.

Rex explains how The Monk is built around a single, urgent question, a moment of uncertainty where everything hangs in the balance, and one decision changes everything.

That tension drives the play from its opening minutes.
