←Recommendations of Madame Medusa Would Prefer a Chardonnay

This is an incredibly atmospheric solo piece about a character from mythology that we all think we know - and based on the contents of this monologue, might even know better than we think! As we enter year three of the pandemic, I can't help but relate to poor Medusa, who is waiting for the solution to a problem that never arrives. I loved all of the details about distilling wine in the cave, and her vivid, hopeful, and ultimately fruitless daydreams. Gorgeous language mixes with compelling, complicated desires to create alchemy - a fantastic monologue for any actress!

The thoughts of the Gorgon, the tortured musings of a wronged woman (as so many were in those bestial tales of random violence). Almost makes you wish you could wield the sword yourself and do her the kindness of releasing her. A powerful mono, perfect for auditions or strong-woman themed evenings.

Just like Tina Turner, Madame Medusa don't need another hero, well unless he brings a bottle of Chardonnay. This would be a great audition piece for an actress, such is the detail and emotion Nora puts into this piece. I would certainly like to see it performed!
