    It's a fairy tale nightmare for this prince! A terrifying princess and a very strong piece for a female actor.

    Wow. Partain achieves so much in one page, a dynamic, fierce, fearless woman -- she's kind of creepy, you wouldn't want to be in a room with her, but her winning indomitable spirit is appealing, you wish you could get your freak on like her and wield a sledgehammer. Perfect for a feminist solo showcase or Intro to Acting.

    Such a fun monologue!! It's the kind of speech I feel like is seen a lot in theatre and film but Partain has really made it fresh with this fascinating woman she's created.
