ZOEY: A HIGH SCHOOL MONOLOGUE (IN THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE)

    Asher Wyndham is a master of the monologue, and Zoey is further proof. This five-page monologue pokes at the double standard of dress codes, particularly in schools, while showing us how complicated it is for a teenager to hang on to their identity and simultaneously hew to seemingly arbitrary school rules. Wonderfully effective.

    A smart and insightful protest against female objectification and oppression in favor of the boys. Well done.

    Sharp, smart, and powerful! The piece and its protagonist! A concise yet thorough examination of the double-standard between boys’ and girls’ attire in school and how that hypocrisy pervades the world at large by way of a power structure that celebrates men while subjugating women... especially smart, confident women. If Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane had a love child, she would be Zoey!
