The Dilemma

Recommended by

  • Steven G. Martin: The Dilemma

    A very dark, very funny monologue that flits across propriety like a dragonfly skimming over water. But Sean Keeley pulls the audience below that calm, water-like propriety to show darker -- and still funny -- depths.

    "The Dilemma" is an enjoyable, sharp, biting short monologue. It's fun to read aloud, no doubt would be fun to act, and it would be easy to produce.

  • John Mabey: The Dilemma

    Sean is a gifted comedic writer and has such a great ear for dialogue, especially capturing the unique voices of characters. In this dark comedy, he successfully wrestles with what pet-parents actually want to say but wouldn't usually dare.

  • Ruben Carbajal: The Dilemma

    Laugh out loud funny, with real insight into the minds of pet owners. Four out of four enthusiastic paws, I mean stars.
