    "I thought she was just going out to Trader Joes to get me quiche. AND MOSTLY FAILING." What a riot! This monologue would be a ton of fun for a character actor who wants to explore some fun physicality. I see so much of my own snarky cats here, and it's a hoot!

    Rather than the unconditional love that dogs seem to bestow on their humans, a cat’s relationships are basically transactional. Martha Garvey captures that in humorous and thoughtful fashion through Sully, the talking cat. There’s always a sense with cats, and it’s certainly true of Sully, that they never forget where they came from. That’s why Sully likely nails the audition. And any actor up to this challenge will likely nail theirs. I would love to see that.

    Don't read this play while in public unless you are OK with your (actual) LOL drawing attention. Ideally, watch this witty and funny work while being performed, but in a pinch a crowded public place will do. In either case, you'll laugh whether you own cats or not. It's perfection.

    A talking cat, with sass and street sense. But also, a little softness. Sully does not suck! A fun character piece to dig into. Or perhaps a performance for a shelter fundraiser?

    A terrific monologue for a character actor to chew on. Martha Garvey brings Sully to life in spectacular fashion, this "talking" cat has a story to tell and won't be deterred. It sounds like Sully has been auditioning for more than just this reality show, as his hard life on the streets has prepared him for the ultimate audition; to be taken in and loved by "the Lady". Short, sweet and perfect for any short play festival. (I was going to say "puuuurfect" but I thought better of it)

    Sully the Cat’s got snark and then some. Martha Garvey has captured cat attitude perfectly in this monologue. A fun play for any short festival.

    Sully's witty remarks, aloof demeanor, and surprising backstory make this monologue an enjoyable journey into the world of a talking cat. Cat lovers and theater enthusiasts alike will find Sully's tale both amusing and heartwarming.

    SUCH a fun piece for a character actor to strut his stuff on your stage. Would be a fun, easy-to-produce addition to an evening of shorts!
