  'A jolt, a shock, a humming just beneath my skin, something surging through my veins, my body awakening, buzzing to life finally, FINALLY.'
  A young trans man, struggling as he begins his medical transition, drops out of university and retreats to his quiet hometown. His friends are gone. The neighbours are watching. His body is changing faster than he can make sense of it... until a midnight screening of Frankenstein offers him a strange kind of salvation.
  Staring into the monster's big, dead, sad eyes, something finally clicks: for the first time, he feels seen.
  Vivid, witty and humane, Dear Young Monster is Pete MacHale's debut solo show, delving into fear, otherness, and what it means to embrace being the monster the world keeps telling you that you are.
  It premiered at Bristol Old Vic in 2024, directed by Sammy Glover, and was nominated for the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Studio Production. It transferred to Soho Theatre, London, in 2025.

  “In poetic prose, I revisit the scars of childhood abuse, molding me into a hollow shell of womanhood. Navigating immigrant pressures, cultures clash, tugging me in divergent paths. Unraveling buried trauma, self-destruction consumed, shattering false identities. Intuition emerges as my guide, leading through mystical realms to rebirth. From unworthiness to purpose-seeking, I rise, embracing happiness, truth, and destiny’s dance.” —From the author   This is the author’s poetic recollection of being abused as a child and how the aftermath shaped her to live her life as a shell of a woman. She takes the reader through the front seat of her mind as she navigates the pressures of being the daughter of brown immigrants and how the clash of cultures pushed and pulled her in different directions. Discovering the trauma stored in her body, self-destruction from the inside led to the inevitable death of her false self. Learning to trust her intuition and the universe, getting lost and found in the world of magic and her prophetic dreams, ultimately guided her to the rebirth of an awakened identity. She went from not feeling worthy enough to live, to searching for her purpose, pulling herself out of the hole, finding her happiness, and never looking back. She learned to live her truth, love herself, and instinctively play with her fate.

  Leaves of Grass The Original...

  Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892).The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it. However, much like Emerson, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise.
