Monkion has spent too long in the attic, obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch, never talking to any other human – until now…
Blending dark comedy with the surreal, Experiment Human tells the story of Monkion, a non-human creature, curious to understand the strange world outside their laboratory in the attic. Having seized actor Benedict Cumberbatch at the height of his fame to protect him from the media, Monkion has failed to give Cumberbatch what he needs to survive.
Join Monkion in their new experiment: Experiment Human. Enter the narrative and the dark truth of Monkion’s story will unfold…
Will the experiment succeed? What will happen if it doesn’t?
We’ll find out.

Experiment Human is an extremely well made, bold, unique, surreal comedy that explores the things that make us human.

THERE'S A MONKION IN YOUR ATTIC
@michaeloreillyphotographer
We've got news. There's a Monkion in every attic. Humans and Monkions have lived in the same world, separate dimension, for centuries. Now the secret's out, the inter-dimensional portal is opening. Monkion is ready, their fate is in your hands...
Come to the attic and join Hooky Productions in their most mind-bending venture yet.

This may be the most extraordinary show of the Fringe. It is compelling in its intimacy, mysterious and enthralling in its creativity, and is driven by a strange and sacred bond that forms between performers and audience, and within the audience itself. Go to this, embrace it, and you will never forget it.

Monkion on the Meadows is site specific, family friendly, soul searching interactive show. The audience observe the Monkions' reaction to their release into the scary world of the outdoors, onto this 'green carpet', their discovery of the sun, and join them on their quest to discover what happiness is before their time is up and they must return to the attic!
