Hindsight is certainly 20/20, but if everyone had the benefit of it, they probably wouldn't need it. Desdemona here suffered from a lack of it more than most; lost her respect in Othello's eyes, then her life at his hands. But Vivian Lermond gives her back the chance to maybe help out some future foolish woman out to stick it to Daddy. This monologue is both sad and funny, and that's what makes her monologues sing. Another winner, Vivian.

Poor Desdemona followed her passion and paid the ultimate price. She returns to offer advice to save others from her ill-fated path. But will anyone consumed by love/lust ever really listen to their father?

A dating primer by Desdemona. Sounds crazy, no? But she has something to say. This is fun, outrageous and I'd loved to hear more. An enjoyable monologue with something to say about fathers and daughters and dating.
