'Occasionally a play comes along that delights at every turn and Laurence Wilson's second full-length play, Lost Monsters is such a play...In short from first to last, Lost Monsters is an intriguing, beguiling, magical delight that should be cheered and applauded to the rafters.' The Stage
'the spellbinding ambition of Wilson's strange, rough magic.' The Guardian
'Lost Monsters captivates the audience from the start...scenes have audiences in stitches of laughter...Underneath the humour, however, Lost Monsters beautifully asks more questions on society and the world we inhabit.' Whatsonstage
'Lost Monsters is part of the Everyman's commitment to new writing, and the 50th 'homegrown' production at the Everyman and Playhouse since 2004. It's an impressive record, and Wilson's off-beat, mystical-tinged tale has the potential to be one of its most enduring results.' Liverpool Echo
