ALEX: A RECESS MONOLOGUE

    This monologue hits with the impact of a truck - so simple, so loaded with emotional subtext. This would be a showstopper audition piece in the hands of a talented teenager - carrying so much and revealing it in glimpses, in moments, in what is left unsaid. Beautifully written.

    The need to survive makes you into the best or worst of yourself, it's just a shame that children are put into that position far sooner than they should be. Well done.

    A well-crafted, relevant monologue. It takes the audience through the thoughts of a child as they practice something that is in their reality. A great piece for a young actor.
