We’re delighted to announce Actor Sam Beckinsale is cast for DEAR MONSTER. From Holby City, London’s Burning and Poirot to the Landmark Theatre Stage in this one woman tour de force show, written and directed by Susan Luciani.
I am both excited and chuffed to bits to be in Dear Monster, to work with the fantastic Susan Luciani and to experience the Landmark Theatre. Susan’s wonderful script resonated with me in so many ways, on so many levels. Yes, it’s dark but it’s also brave, funny at times and totally inspiring. I just couldn’t not do it…! She’s an insightful and generous director.

BBC Radio interview
“I didn’t know what to expect from a play about Domestic Abuse. I didn’t expect it to be funny, interesting and gentle as well as powerful and utterly heartbreaking. I laughed and I sobbed!…
The whole thing, the sound, the use of film, the images. I haven’t seen that before and it was fantastic. Really brought something extra…
I recognised so much. I have a family member who has experienced this, the police scene especially struck me…
Mindblowing!…
Wow. How important Dear Monster is, as a play. So brave and brilliant.”
