  • Stephen Graff: Are You Comfortable? by J.Lois Diamond

    In reading this play, I can’t help but think that every person in our tortured nation who is a victim of gun violence is as good, as full of life as the beautiful narrator of this wonderful, heart-breaking little masterpiece.

    I love the last line of this intense and terrifying piece that MUST BE HEARD! That line - and the title - point to our complacency because we are way too comfortable already, many of us, because we are not in this position. Yet.

    This is a swift punch to the feelings. Diamond wastes no time grabbing the reader and pulling them into this horrendous moment. This monologue needs to be HEARD and I hope it makes the rounds in auditions.

    ARE YOU COMFORTABLE? is a shocking and moving piece of work that stands on its own, but the meaning is doubled once you discover that this isn't a work of fiction.

    Such a poignant piece that begs to be seen on stage. Strong dialogue and the haunting image of the young girl’s last words are just heart-breaking. I highly recommend this play

    The ending image is one of the best endings I've read in a gun control monologue/short play on NPX. It's unsettling, you're left wondering what happened to the young woman Lucy and her mother after the intruder enters! It broke my heart, but also made me ANGRY --life in America should be comfortable, each day relaxing like you're Lucy's customer in the furniture store. But it isn't; many struggle to be REALLY comfortable because their lives in the U.S.A. can be ruined by a sudden act of violence. Highly recommended for a festival on gun control.
