A LITTLE LITERARY ANALYSIS - a monologue

    “ As someone who more than one person has dedicated their rendition of “My Funny Valentine” to, I have a strong appreciation of context.

    Many a special occasion has been sullied by those who have no idea what their literary allusions refer to. What makes it worse is when nobody else knows either. And who suffers? The people who do know!

    Cross (in what I’m betting is at least a semi-autobiographical nightmare) presents in stark detail the curse of a good liberal arts education. This monologue with vindicate many and I hope bring shame upon many more! ”

    “ I was hooked on this monologue from the opening line ("Okay, Chad. I'm going to interrupt you there!") So clever and fun! This outrageous, well-read, and offended bridesmaid would be a blast for an actor to play. ”

    “ I recently had the privilege to perform this piece for a competition, this is brilliantly written and a wonderful character! The beats in this monologue are well spaced out, the jokes are hilarious, and this character is just a riot! This is certainly a treat for any actress to get their hands on! ”
