Google Despite the Monkey and Worklight TheatreAbout the show
Forget About Me is a horror and magic theatre show by Despite the Monkey and Worklight Theatre at Below, written and performed by designer-performer Dylan Howells. In a remote north-east village, something lurks in the bathroom — something Dylan struggles to remember, which even his dad's deadly DIY skills cannot fix. Howells weaves psychological illusions and fragmented memories into a magical, chilling tale of a home that won't stay still. Part magic show, part ghost story, the show blurs the line between reality and fiction. Content warnings include domestic abuse, bullying, death, grief, loud noises and realistic gore. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A magic show that genuinely unsettles — Howells uses mentalism and design to tell a ghost story that gets under your skin. The kind of show that lingers long after the lights come up.
