    There's a good deal of craftsmanship that goes into a Chesterfield sofa. They must be elegant yet comfortable, durable and timeless. They must wear the wear-and-tear well. They must prevail over decades of love and affection, much of which is given without thought.

    There's a good deal of craftsmanship that goes into a monologue. The speaker must have a reason to speak. When the speaker is an anthropomorphized inanimate object, circumstances must be pretty dire for them to give voice.

    CHESTER is beautifully crafted. Epic and immediate. Elegant in speech and stagecraft. Loveworn yet worthy of more. Bravo.

    I will NEVER look at my sofa the same way again! This is such a gorgeous piece that won't fail to make you go "Awwwww" Chester is a wonderful character who has so much love to give but has suffered greatly at the hands of his families. Its a brilliantly unique idea that could be a lovely to perform for any actor. It makes you feel and possibly will make you want to restore your old furniture rather than casting it out, it certainly did me.
