←Recommendations of A MONOLOGUE

Wilma brings the weather forecast and a lot more in this courageous monologue. Hopefully the men in the audience, or really anyone into body shaming, will get Wilma’s message loud and clear and take it to heart. Give’em hell, Wilma!

I love how this monologue from master monologist Asher Wyndham fully realizes its character’s world. This is a hard hitting and striking piece that speaks to experiences shared (unfortunately) by many. Wilma With The Weather is a mic dropper for any actor!

Reading Asher Wyndham’s hard-hitting monologue I’m reminded of the classic line from the film Network: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore.” Only this time it’s Wilma the weather anchor who’s mad as hell at sexism, bullying and body shaming and not going to take it. Powerful and, sadly, ever timely.

Applause applause applause applause applause. That is a strong woman indeed. And vulnerability makes her stronger. Effective!

Wilma's brave plea for empathy and respect makes for a particularly timely monologue in Asher Wyndham's moving piece. Wilma is a layered and dimensional character: self-aware, kind, and wise. Her pain is palpable, and her message couldn't be more meaningful or urgent.

This hits so hard. I am shaken because this is so real and so painful. The expectation that women who aren't aesthetically pleasing are an affront to some men is so prevalent. Wilma bravely calls them out on air, but just because she's brave doesn't mean she isn't hurting. I hurt with her.

Asher Wyndham opens this monologue with the most familiar of familiar settings, then hits the audience square in the patriarchy with a wild and wonderful left turn. Wilma is a force to be reckoned with as powerful as any storm system she might describe. The audience, and her employers, would do well to listen to what she has to say.
