Shouting In The Evening

This month, our monologue has a distinctly Halloween-horror feel... if you like the TV show 'Dexter', you'll love this!

Written by John Busser and starring Iain Cowieson, this monologue has a very specific backstory, so here's some context from the writer himself...

This play was inspired by ads that ran in American pulp magazines and comic books, starting in the 1930's and eventually phasing out in the late 1970's.

Charles Atlas was a bodybuilder and fitness instructor who was inspired by a real-life bullying incident to create a weightlifting program immortalised by these iconic advertisements.

They have been described as one of the longest-lasting and most memorable ad campaigns of all time.

But what if scrawny little "Mac" from the ad took a different path and got a medical license and a degree of moral flexibility instead?
