Now this is INTENSE. Rarely do audition monologues sustain this level of intensity. A captivating voice.

An eerieness that really gets under the skin, a strange spectacle that is captured not only by the Borealis-like lighting phenomenon but also by the scenario that intersects these four lives in the Arctic. A sci fi play tackling our present and past traumas, personal and national. It's impressive how Gatton did it again, just like in his stellar play BETTER, creating four compelling characters with equal stage time and emotional weight and complexity. And the surprises, I didn't seem them coming.

There's a muscularity and sinewiness to Gatton's writing. So much for each character to chew on in the scenes. A bleak but honest vision of capitalist America.

An absurd misunderstanding is the basis of this comic monologue. It would be fun to see an actor bring this to life, physically and with movement, pretending to be behind bars, directing their attention to the director behind the audition table as if they were someone in jail. Rarely are monologues F-U-N for audition.

This kind of playful approach to language and the monologue form to capture voice/character is inspiring. It reminds me of Georges Perec.

This monologue about motherhood and aftermath of an adult child leaving the nest will resonate with a lot of women. Jones has captured a women worn out, enjoying her independence, and new found comfort, a character that's such a treat like chocolate for the audience. Loved it. Perfect for audition or a festival on motherhood/Mother's Day.

Braverman has found a clever way to talk about the past while revealing depth of character and emotion, a perfect setting for revelation and backstory. And he also explores something strangely odd about mourning - how remembering a loved one's life and circumstances of death, wondering about what you should have done, makes you a more responsible and a better person. A smart choice for a festival on mourning or suicide prevention or just a monologue festival.

These monologues hit hard and goes THERE, don't play it PG sometimes, gets it real about crushing, jealousy, family life. These are the kinds of monologues that teens can relate to.

There's a velocity and volatility to this two-hander on brotherhood that makes for a captivating read. Each character is complicated in their own way, both protagonist and antagonist. Who's directing who, who's the the star of the show, who's in control of the scene? It captures the theatricality in the relationship of many siblings that's relatable.
