Crikey - this is a stunning piece - Christopher Plumridge is so good at speaking in a natural human voice - this is so utterly believable as a piece of writing. We are taken down a path of great tenderness and love and joy only to be side-swiped off track in devastating, but understated manner. An amazing monologue.

A sweet loving tender moment between a father and son takes a turn in the way you wish it never would. A powerful emotionally charged piece.

BABA MIKEY by Christopher Plumridge is a touching monologue that will stay with audiences long after the lights come up…and wishing they had stuffed a few Kleenex into their pockets.

I am an emotional wreck. CHRISTOPHER PLUMRIDGE's monologue is a true thing of beauty.

The reveal in this tender monologue is a gut punch, but the love and care this family has is masterfully woven through. This is an excellent monologue for an actor looking for a deep emotional challenge to dig into.

So many monologues for actors get lost in past events without giving the actor something to fight for--right here, right now. Chris Plumridge has written a beautifully expressive, deeply touching missive from a new father to his infant son, and while there is natural projection into the future, as any new father's musings to his child will be, the words are centered on the here and now and the stakes are incredibly high. "You'll find your own way," he says, and we are in that moment, rooting for this innocent little baby to do just that.

Ok. Take a deep breath. Whew. Christopher Plumridge has created the most beautiful monologue of a new father telling his infant son his hopes and dreams for the young lad. You’ll laugh and cheer along until Plumridge makes the big reveal. Then get your hanky out. I was left feeling sad but also hopeful that Mikey will indeed lead the Spurs to the cup!

Christopher Plumridge’s monologue, “Baba Mikey”, evokes a number of emotions, as you are engrossed in the love spoken by a father of a baby and devoted husband to his lovely wife. The twist is one that only adds to the power of this piece.

A monologue with a very strong twist, intention and emotions. Well done!
