Feral Monster follows Jax and her noisy, opinionated brain as they navigate love, identity, class and family. Mashing up grime, R&B, soul, pop and rap, the soundtrack takes us from the high highs to low lows of the hormonal rollercoaster of adolescence. A banging musical about an unremarkable teenager. Expelled from school and not even able to get a job at the chippy, Jax (she/they/whatever) is a cocky, loveable teen living with her Nan in a tiny, boring village. When Jax meets Ffion, with her smart talk and loud looks, sparks fly. Queer teenage lust brings together this unlikely match in all its messy, clumsy and awesome glory. First performed at Sherman Theatre in Cardiff in February 2024 before touring to Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Pontio in Bangor, Ffwrnes in Llanelli and Theatr Brycheiniog in Brecon.
