Sherman Theatre Presents Forgiveness of a Monster – Connor Allen’s Haunting Autobiographical Play

Cardiff, UK – This season, Sherman Theatre unveils Forgiveness of a Monster, the powerful second autobiographical play by acclaimed Welsh writer and performer Connor Allen.

“Who’s the man you see when you look in the mirror?” This question lies at the heart of Allen’s poetic and pulsating new work. Exploring the difficulty of forgiveness—and the even greater challenge of forgiving ourselves—the play follows Connor as he confronts his past, his family’s generational legacy, and the flaws that shape us all.

Propelled by an epic soundtrack, Forgiveness of a Monster is both deeply personal and profoundly universal. It offers audiences a haunting reflection on identity, resilience, and humanity, while showcasing Allen’s distinctive voice as one of Wales’ most compelling contemporary storytellers.

Sherman Theatre invites audiences to witness this unforgettable production—an exploration of memory, music, and the courage it takes to face the man in the mirror.
