An evening of intimate performance, music and storytelling
Monolithic Theatre presents Four Jazz, a curated programme of short-form theatrical works exploring intimacy, rhythm and the interior lives of contemporary characters. Inspired by jazz as both structure and metaphor, the evening brings together leading actors, writers and musicians for a night of bold, emotionally resonant performance.
Each piece places the actor at the centre of the storytelling, supported by original music composed for the full programme and a live musical performance. Together, the works explore love, faith, politics, memory and artistic inheritance — moments of improvisation held within carefully composed worlds.
Familiar Music
Writer & Director: Caleb Azumah Nelson
Performed by: Seraphina Beh
An intimate meditation on love, memory and the quiet rituals that shape a shared life. Moving through moments of connection, loss and return, Familiar Music asks how we carry tenderness and grief as we learn to let go.
The Last Set
Writer: Roger Robinson
Performed by: Harrison Daniels
A lyrical reflection on masculinity, inheritance and endurance. The Last Set explores what is passed down, what is held onto, and when it is finally time to rest.
Eternity Is a Long Time
Writer: Ogorchukwu Krysta Ozor
Performed by: Tara Hoyos-Martinez
A poetic exploration of faith, time and longing, following a woman caught between belief, desire and the vastness of eternity - and the courage required to live fully in the present.
Monk at the Bolivar
Writer: Jade Alvara
Performed by: Kimberley Okoye
Set within the jazz landscape of 1950s New York, Monk at the Bolivar explores artistry, resistance and survival through music, memory and political presence.
Life of the Party
Writer: Gabriel Dedji
Performed by: Tiffany Thomas
Set within the confines of one bedroom, Life of the Party follows a young woman navigating freelance work, politics, love and autonomy — a sharp, contemporary portrait of belief and self-definition.
