    A wonderful monologue about the joy of teaching the written word. As someone who does that from time to time, it definitely resonated with me. The work it comes from, "A Good Year," is simply excellent, so there's no wonder this monologue is excellent as well.

    A short yet profound monologue that resonated with me as someone who is studying to become an English teacher. This is a great role for either a man or woman and its message is truly timeless and universal. Incredibly well done!

    A succinct expression of the passion and grief that educators carry — Hoping that their clear voice of reason might rise up above the fray of conspiracies and terror and politicking — And knowing that it probably won't. Still, they try. Will the light they cast on words bigger than any one of us help illuminate a young person's future? Maybe. Let's hope it's still possible.
