Two Cups... Always Two (A Monologue)

Two Cups... Always Two (A Monologue)

“
This monologue manages to touch brilliantly on the "routine of grief" that many find themselves stuck in, and the shivering nature of us never having enough time with one another. Later is a terrible promise indeed, and this monologue is sure to tug on the heartstrings of all who may hear it.

“
A poignant monologue about loss and maintaining a simple morning ritual to avoid letting go. This beautiful line by Brent Alles (and there are many), says so much: “Coffee’s ready. I said it like I always said it. Just enough to keep the habit intact.” In the hands of the right actor, this monologue will have the audience in tears.

Routine helps process grief, but sometimes it keeps us trapped in a vicious cycle. Brent Alles' beautiful and touching monologue is a study in mourning. Lovely theatricality and emotionally powerful text. I loved this.
