John Busser: Sean's Lament (MONOLOGUE)

Hard to tell who's torturing Sean more; the demon in the afterlife or Sean himself. Peter Fenton distills the issue of being true to yourself into a simple exchange, not to the demon, but to Sean's own doubts about who he really is. And he doesn't like what he's learning. He brings in feelings (which he says he can't control) of disdain for the whole situation. He just wants to be left alone in a world that expects him to be something he doesn't want. Even if our personal journeys are different, Sean's lament could apply to all of us.
