  • Andrew Martineau: AND SCENE by Vivian Lermond
    “

    Vivian Lermond has an incredible talent for making her characters’ way of speaking fit perfectly with their personalities and experiences. In just a couple of pages, we know who Andy is by how he speaks, and yet we don’t know the specifics of where his story is going. That kind of delineation between concrete characterization and a surprising plot twist shows some expert writing skills that make this monologue truly wonderful!

    There's a tonality in art that heightens life. It sharpens things, making the wit and banter more vivid than the everyday utterances of regular people. Lermond gives her raconteur the best of both states of being, providing a lovely twist/shift for the performer and the audience. It's resoundingly affirming. Remove the artifice and you discover there's nothing quite like the real thing.

    This wonderful 2 hander caught me by surprise, the two strangers meeting at the bar, instantly hitting it off, then the clever twist in such a short piece! Oh how I love a twist! Favourite line: "her eyebrows talked by themselves" ha!

    A monologue with an awesome twist. Even having read the title of this monologue and the description of it I was so invested in the inner story that I totally forgot this was about actors. I love the vivid descriptions in this piece and think an actor could very much show off doing it. Awesome job!

    A demanding and ingenious role for a male actor with vivid, colourful writing which would draw any listener or audience in before the final upbeat twist.

    I was enjoying this wee monologue and was too busy trying to figure out where Vivian was taking us to notice that she already had me there!
    Delicious switcheroo, complete with a Shakespeare quote...I see your quote Vivian, and counter with a compliment ...."Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"...Leonardo Da Vinci
