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 award-winning writers, internationally recognised actors, and an acclaimed composer whose work spans music, film, and contemporary culture, for a night of bold, emotionally resonant performance.

The programme features writing by Roger Robinson, T. S. Eliot Prize–winning poet, and Caleb Azumah Nelson, award-winning novelist of Open Water andSmall Worlds, alongside original work by Jade Alvara and Ogorchukwu Krysta Ozor. Performances are delivered by actors whose credits span Mission: Impossible, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Top Boy, Polite Society, The Wheel of Time, FBI: International, and leading UK stages including the National Theatre and Royal Court.

Original music for the full programme is composed by Leon Jean-Marie, an acclaimed composer and musician whose credits include work for 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.

Each work places the actor at the centre of the storytelling, supported by live performance and original composition. Together, the pieces explore love, faith, politics, memory, and artistic inheritance, moments of improvisation held within carefully composed worlds, shaped by creatives working at the forefront of contemporary performance.
