A flash of lightning and a freak car crash leave three runaways stranded and seeking refuge. As society whizzes by all around, they enter a world of dreams and nightmares.This new play for our time is brimming with savage humour, touching humanity and visual invention. Lost Monsters was in production at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre Liverpool Everyman Theatre in May-June 2009.
