ABANDONMENT [A 1-MINUTE MONOLOGUE]

    It's very easy for people to parrot the things they've heard, or the things they think they've heard. Some who believe their side is righteous or holy will shout words of hate from the highest heavens. No matter whom it might hurt. This short play illustrates the consequences of telling someone they are hated. Great job, Steven.

    STEVEN G. MARTIN’s one-minute play, “ABANDONMENT”, raises one of the most important questions for a religious person: Has God abandoned me when I most need Him? This brief monologue is very powerful.
