It is not common to be spellbound by a story, but when the moment comes it is unforgettable. This is the unexpected place the audience finds itself with Casey Jay Andrews’s rendition of A Place that Belongs to Monsters.
 Set in the small UK town of Bracknell, three people in the most serendipitous of ways, find themselves at a fate, on the evening of the first day of summer. Whilst not crossing each other's paths, in that place and at that time have their lives irreconcilably changed. The child, the teenager and the woman are all presented with clear personal crises they are aware they cannot control but are desperate to overcome. In regards to the child, providing dinner for her exhausted and overworked mother which can only be achieved through the determined journey to the fate to procure food. The teen has great optimism in her heart to meet a boy, one who she greatly desires and to her hope for reciprocated feelings, a carefully orchestrated chance meeting. It is with a greater degree of sadness for the woman who continues to mourn the death of her veterinarian sister and in her grief, decides to achieve the unbelievable liberation of the world’s fastest horse as one last defiant gesture for her sister.  
 Flush with metaphorical and symbolic references throughout the performance, the most dominant is The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They are a powerful introduction to the beginning of the show and a clear foretelling of the events to come. Each of the characters representations of the horsemen themselves; Famine, War, Conquest. Death however is a much more complicated person in the story. Andrews’s performance is stellar. Almost an example of magical realism, she owns the words and crafted the ambience to a point where the background noise of the astounding venue was entirely unnoticeable. There was a slightly comical moment of the evening's performance where, by chance alone, two members of the audience were locals of Bracknell and were able to confirm the existence of the finer details of the stories location. A deeply touching performance, Andrews wrote a remarkably beautiful script that was above all things a memorable show to see.
