Degringolade

Recommended by

  • Morey Norkin: Degringolade

    This collection of monologues speaks unflinchingly of power, ambition, and corruption on a global scale. Ken Love has created characters with histories so vivid and detailed you might think they had written autobiographies. The lesson, for me at least, is to understand historical and current events, we need to understand the individuals wielding power, the people behind them, their motivations, and their secrets. DEGRINGOLADE is an evening of political drama that is absolutely essential for our times.

Through five gripping monologues, the characters’ confessions reveal their personal deteriorations, showcasing the complex impact of ego and ambition. A thought-provoking piece that would shine on stage with its intensity and depth.
