Monster Made is the story of two people who could not be further apart. Amanda Crowley is an unyielding lawyer who will not be intimidated by a man accused of murder. This man is Thomas Duncan who committed a heinous massacre. He is guilty. Without a doubt, the case is lost. Nevertheless, Amanda wants the case. She does not want to win it, but rather to understand how someone can become such a monster and possibly set a development into motion that will finally change something. 'Monster Made is a captivating, psychological, intimate play' (Audience Review).
