  '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.

  The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
  In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
  The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
  In this volume we bring together the poems and verse of those wordsmiths whose lives were blighted by drink and the seemingly unending consumption of it.   
  The long roll call and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with the names of these lost talents.
