    Phoebe lets it all loose about why she hates this summer vacation and actually she's got a good case! Well done.

    PHOEBE (GOES BONKERS NEAR THE EDGE OF THE GRAND CANYON): A SUMMER VACATION MONOLOGUE is at first, exhilarating and then, at last, devastating. We feel Phoebe’s rage even as we increasingly get a clear picture of her enthusiastically intrusive, blissfully unaware parents in all their trashy glory. Personally I really appreciate Wyndham’s empathy for my own fourteen year old self who had more than my share of Mister Machintoshes.

    This is a fun monologue for a young girl. From tantrum to truths, it gives a lot to play with while remaining true to the subject's voice. I especially enjoy this journey because it doesn't end where I suspected it would.
