The comedy has the appeal of a Saturday newspaper comic and it can elicit howling laughter like a play for elementary school kids, and then near the end it becomes something else entirely, absurd even in its tradition, but devasting in its execution, which makes what came before it even more rewarding thematically. Another winning play by Seinuk, one of a kind, perfectly structured. There's more going on in this ten-minute, structurally and in respects to character, than most ten-minute plays.

Radtke's monologue on a ruined marriage earns its poetry, there's no contrivance at all because he perfectly captures a character's heartbreaking in the moment because every emotion is earned and punctuated brilliantly. And its through this honest character that we can find ourselves empathetic - because we can recognizes ourselves in similar situations and life experiences even if we have never been married. Perfectly plotted emotionally from start to finish -- a smart choice for audition.

Tad has so much on his mind except paying for rent! Lol. A dude comedy for the Halloween season with a existential stoner vibe that is a lot of fun.

Does she really know her constituents? Or does she need a script? This monologue captures the relationship, sometimes awkward, between voters and politicians.

A somber and poetic monologue with universal appeal. I can see this performed in any city, for any community and culture, in any language.

The twist is such a shocker! The world building through description is impressive, the approach to short play through monologue and voices is original. You must read and produce this.

Silly and serious, bonkers and biting, an audience will have a freaking good time.

Got a pet, dog or cat, living or dead, you can relate to this
A celebration of our furry friends that makes you laugh and smile.
The speech can work for a teen or adult of any age.

I would love to be an audience member with my eyes closed, breathing in and out, and laughing.

What's great about Lermond's monologues is that the storytelling is active. It's never flat or boring. We learn so much about the character's emotional state and what makes him tick. It's the detail that makes a Lermond monologue such a blast!
