Monolithic Theatre Performance in Notting Hill, London

An electrifying night of intimate performance, live music, and storytelling, where bold voices, raw emotion, and rhythm collide in celebration of the greats of jazz. Monolithic Theatre presents Four Jazz, a curated evening of four 20-minute monologue performances exploring intimacy, rhythm, and the interior lives of contemporary characters. Inspired by jazz as both structure and metaphor, the programme unfolds like a set of solos in conversation – where language, silence, and live music combine to create a night of bold, emotionally resonant theatre. Bringing together award-winning writers, internationally recognised actors, and an acclaimed composer, Four Jazz offers a series of distilled works that centre the inner life. Each piece stands alone, while together they form a rich, rhythmic exchange exploring love, faith, memory, artistry, politics, and the courage it takes to live fully in the present. The programme features writing by Roger Robinson, T. S. Eliot Prize–winning poet, and Caleb Azumah Nelson, award-winning author of Open Water and Small Worlds, alongside original work by Jade Alvara and Ogorchukwu Krysta Ozor. Performances are delivered by actors whose screen and stage credits include Mission: Impossible, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Top Boy, Polite Society, The Wheel of Time, FBI: International, and leading UK theatres including the National Theatre and the Royal Court. Original music for the full programme is composed by Leon Jean-Marie, an acclaimed composer and musician whose work spans music, film, fashion, and contemporary culture. His credits include collaborations with Soho House (Becoming One featuring Janelle Monáe), Vogue x Bvlgari, Google Pixel, Virgin Media, and LONGINES, alongside documentary scores for Netflix, ITV and Patagonia Films. His original score provides a cohesive sonic architecture across Four Jazz, deepening the emotional and rhythmic life of each piece.
