#NO SUCH THING (monologue - about 6 minutes)

by Robin Rice

Mandy or Randy is a young teenager with an attitude. "I am so attractive and so good that nothing creepy or icky could possibly happen to me!" But fibbing to oneself doesn't cleanse a guilty conscience, and flesh-eating bacteria may have a field day.

    What starts off as what seems like a monologue about cute teenage angst slowly grows into a powerful horror piece on guilt, fear, and teenage terror. Robin Rice has done a brilliant job of capturing the inner horror as we watch/feel it explode! EXCELLENT WORK! "No Such Thing"--- whatta ride!

    It's at the end when you'd expect the Crypt-Keeper or some other ghoulish horror host to pop in, say something like "Mandy thought she could perfectly justify her non-guilty feelings, but SCRATCH THAT!" and end with some high-pitched laughter. Robin Rice gives us a wonderful monologue about guilt, betrayal and a nagging itch that just won't go away. Well, unless you dig for it...

    The telltale itch. What a great monologue about how guilt betrays us. Especially when we betray others.
