←Recommendations of 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.

What a powerful monologue, speaking to the horrors of American gun violence. A wonderful, devastating piece for a young actor.

A script that leaves you uncomfortable.
Well done.

Brutal, devastating and so well written. This needs to be in a monologue book so teens will do this piece. I want to cry right now.

Heart wrenching as Diamond brings to life the gun epidemic that is spreading like a disease. Swift and powerful like a speeding bullet.

A stunning, concise, and hard-hitting3-minute punch to the gut from Diamond, with a final line that kills. A great role for a strong actress.

With a country far too comfortable with lax gun control, Diamond offers us a monologue (and a life) that comes full circle with a gut-punching end. It’s impossible to be comfortable after reading this. It needs to be on many stages so that more Americans can grow uncomfortable with our out-of-control gun culture.

Such a realistic account would bring the gun violence issue home to anybody. It's not about who is the victim, it's about anybody who could be the victim. This monologue manages a complete story with a gripping ending. These were wonderful people, victims of outmoded laws.
