A very brave, no-holds barred monologue, one of those works in which the writer clearly holds up his heart within his words and hopefully, in doing so, both finds peace and passes some sort of peace on to others in their own situations. Braverman pulls no punches and speaks only truths, and we in the audience are very fortunate that he trusts us to receive his story. Thank you, Paul.

Grief is not a choice. Forgiveness is not an isolated action. It is a constant battle. Paul Braverman details the long journey to balance for a brother who knows all too well that balance is something easily toppled. This powerful monologue builds and builds to a thoroughly satisfying climax.

03/31/2026 - A monologue that is as gripping as it is powerful. I love how we learn more and more about the relationship between the two brothers as the monologue unfolds, including the good, the bad, and the various twists and turns. This would be the kind of monologue that would put audiences on the edge of their seats as they listen to every word. Great work!
