Monster Raving Loony is a play written by the British playwright James Graham.
It follows the life and exploits of the British rock musician Screaming Lord Sutch, and derives its title from the political party founded and led by Sutch from 1983 until his death in 1997.
[3][4] Directed by Simon Stokes, the original cast consisted of Joseph Alessi, Samuel James, Joanna Brookes, Tom Attwood, Jack Brown and Camilla Beeput.
In his 4 star review for the Evening Standard, Henry Hitchings called it "an intriguing look at the mechanisms of democracy - dressed in wilfully outrageous garb, yet unexpectedly touching".
[7] Time Out, also awarding 4 stars, called the production "poignant, sweet and brave" [8] whilst The Financial Times called it a "sharp, canny and original piece of theatre".
