←Recommendations of THE MONOLOGUE

I love that 20-SOMETHING, the protagonist in "Fuck Buddy," -- as with all Asher Wyndham characters -- is at a very emotional point and must speak their mind. And every emotion is sharp and clear, and actors will find all of them and play all of them because this monologue is so well written. The rage, the sadness, the desire in this moment when things change for the character. Or, perhaps sadly, not.

Damn straight! You tell 'um! Complexity, emotional roller coster, much truth about how we communicate these days.

This a fabulous read! There is so much complexity within this character and while this is just a monologue, I feel like I can picture this other character that is very much active in this scene. Brilliant work!

The fuck buddy relationship is supposed to be all sex and no complications. But when the other guy seems to delight in manipulating your misplaced hopes and expectations, the complications overshadow the sex. Or do they enhance the experience? Another memorable piece from the master of monologues.

Love the fruit mix part at the end!

Relationships are always complicated, we all know that, but Asher and his wonderful 20 something present a whole new perspective on just how complicated sex and relationships can be. Asher has a great skill in creating wonderfully complex characters and (for me at least) leave you wanting to know more about their story that has led to this moment and "Fuck Buddy" is a prime example of that. Will definitely be reading the 2nd one! If you're looking for a powerful and entertaining monologue then this is a perfect example.

Many of us will read/hear this and think, "there but for the grace of God-knows-what go I."

We have been our own hurricanes of bad decisions, terrible impulses, horrendous taste, and irresistible urges.

Wyndman deftly shows the flaws in both the speaker and the listener here. One who demands not to be interrupted while the other waits quietly for the rant to stop so they can get down to business. High maintenance, low expectation, little to no standards.

All of these dynamics are at play in this fast, funny monologue that's totally DTFI

This is such a fun monologue, clever and intimate, funny, and real. It's a joy to read Asher's work and would be an even greater joy to see this in an evening of shorts. The description of place to set the tone, "A cold apartment of a recent fuck-buddy." is so good. Well done!

A little gem of desperation, of wanting to create some heat on a frigid winter night, even if you know you will only be colder in the morning..

I just had the utter joy of reading this aloud to a DG group. It's delightfully sexy, witty and hilarious. Very actable and so much fun!
