I love both of these "One Job Thou Hadst" monologues. I had never thought about the messenger who came to Lady Macduff, and what more they might have done. Excellent, excellent poetical monologue play.

A fantastic monologue for all Shakespeare fans that gives voice to one of his less prominent characters in such a fun way!

A delightful monologue from the point of view of the servant sent to warn Lady Macduff. These poor minor characters! Not epic heroes, just ordinary people mistakenly caught up in Shakespeare's plots. David Hansen gives them voices. In this blank verse monologue, we get to experience the confusion of a character who expected other characters to react like an normal person, not a tragic heroine, and the remorse of realizing too late that these characters never react the way you would expect. Poor guy! Well done, David!
