“
Who are you, right now? That's the question Persona asks you to answer. This piece asked me if I know who I present to the world? How does that facade change? You'll think about the premise and what it asks of you long after you finish reading it. The writing is tight and snappy. I enjoyed this very much.

What a wonderful premise: “… I’d left my apartment without figuring out which me I was wearing.” Grabs you right from the start. An actor could have a lot of fun playing with the various me's in the script. Fun plays on words and commentary of modern family life.

I highly recommend Persona. I feel many people will relate to wearing many hats and being the person you're expected to be depending on the situation. CK Brestman takes it further with being the person they needed to be to survive the various life situations growing up. Behind this monologue we also see a very touching story. Just lovely.
