I love that the playwright took a poem and made interpreting it and using it for reflection on the present day. A surprising, maybe new way of using the monologue form. A monologue for our dangerous time, for America and any country where democracy is a stake.

The flat delivery makes this monologue of incest and sexual assault/rape even more powerful. Knowing this has been going on for years, decades leaves you so disgusted. And reminds us we must do more in our country so victims have the courage to speak up. A fine example of a short monologue, perfect for audition.

A relatable monologue for anyone of an adult age, for any ethnicity or culture. Read it aloud, take your time with the words, and feel it and see yourself its in the imagined space. A fine example of a perfect one minute monologue.

This is an inspiring monologue for playwrights whenever they are experiencing winter's block. And it's a gem for actors and directors to get the creative juices flowing to create something unexpected from found text.

The struggle with not just organized religion but also God is gut-wrenchingly executed. The playwright continues to create visceral and honest experiences for the stage and deserves your attention.

I love that this momologue can be performed by an actor of any culture or ethnicity or race. A universal monologue tapping into the migration experience.

An actor could do a lot, physically and emotionally, while auditioning with this memory monologue.

Many doctors and those who work in the medical industry could relate to this. Rarely does theatre spotlight doctors and their depression and the negative impact of their workload on their life, andp their loss of joy. I would like to see this character in a long work, picking mushrooms on his brother's farm

Absolutely bonkers, a physical comedy with some golfing that makes you chuckle like it is a scene from Caddyshack, but in the backdrop it is no laughing matter, uh international disarmament. So much is at stake but on this putting green it's all nonsense and antics for these chummy ambassadors, reminding us the biggest players on the world's stage are privileged asshats.

Taking the superhero genre, Cole captures the anxiety of a teen who has a natural gift, an extraordinary talent that hasn't found an audience to appreciated it yet. Kids in the audience will find this relatable. Cole is one of the best on NPX wtiting a one and two minute monologue.
