Watching David Greig's drama with music, set in modern-day Scotland, I couldn't help but think of Maurice Sendak, another devotee of things whimsical and dark—and certainly no stranger to monsters. Only in Greig's world, the monster happens to be a Ducati motorcycle, stowed away in the lives of the teenage Duck and her MS-stricken father, Duke. The two have been on their own since her mother died in a motorcycle crash. They’ve managed to get on, but now, on the day Duke suddenly goes blind, a social services inspector pops by for a visit. Director Julie Ritchey’s on-point staging for Filament Theatre works in cohesion with the lighting, a beautiful spectacle from Kristof Janezic. Aside from a few clunky and too quiet transitions between songs, the show shines. —Chloe Riley
