Recommendations of Messenger (Monologue)

  • Emily C. A. Snyder: One Job Thou Hadst: Messenger (Monologue)

    I love both of these "One Job Thou Hadst" monologues. I had never thought about the messenger who came to Lady Macduff, and what more they might have done. Excellent, excellent poetical monologue play.

    A fantastic monologue for all Shakespeare fans that gives voice to one of his less prominent characters in such a fun way!

  • Monica Cross: One Job Thou Hadst: Messenger (Monologue)

    A delightful monologue from the point of view of the servant sent to warn Lady Macduff. These poor minor characters! Not epic heroes, just ordinary people mistakenly caught up in Shakespeare's plots. David Hansen gives them voices. In this blank verse monologue, we get to experience the confusion of a character who expected other characters to react like an normal person, not a tragic heroine, and the remorse of realizing too late that these characters never react the way you would expect. Poor guy! Well done, David!

    Delightful! This monologue is a confection of words. It made my ears hurt, because even though I walk and talk and write all day, apparently, I don't use big words, or use words that make me think, and here's a whole bunch of them! And I'm no Shakespeare scholar but I *think* the writer has worked it out in iambic pentameter. Because why the hell not? Funny and fabulous, and apparently a cheeky series of monologues, this nutty piece makes me feel happy and happy for any actor who gets to chew on these consonants and syllables. Bravo!
