Are You Comfortable?

  • Christopher Plumridge: Are You Comfortable?

    So much said in so few words, this monologue is incredible! Lucy quickly brings us into her world to a point we feel like we've known her for years, then the real horror creeps up on us most unexpectedly, a true reflection of some of these awful shootings. Am I comfortable? No.

    That the build to horror is so subtle and unexpected gives this piece its incredible power. Lucy is an engaging young woman with a life of promise. It isn't possible to be comfortable by the time she has finished speaking.

    This likable young woman brings us along throughout this devastating monologue. And then the ending...good God I was right there with her. A powerful piece for a young person.
