    Unfortunately some women will relate to such an encounter. For others that have suffered they will words that inspire, give strength and steeliness. A smart choice for a festival on sexual violence and abuse.

    This historical sweep of generations in this monologue is stellar and thought-provoking. It's great one person play for a media and set designer

    It's rare to have monologues starring theatre people. Their perspective may be about their occupation but it says more about their subscribers and society itself. Well done.
  • A Long Overdue Talk With Henry
    13 Dec. 2023
    With a mystery under a bucket as a story concept and physical comedy from the start that hooks us, Busser explores one woman's mourning and grief with a rich emotional experience that's surprisngly relatable. Good theatre should surprise us with an empathetic experience. I just read it. Even better watching it with a live audience.
  • Home for the holidays: A monologue

    Wow, you'll be wiping away tears throughout this monologue. You get to know not only the father character but the playwright himself in a few pages, and the weight of the loss, the rawness of mourning is still felt after the last word. One of the most honest monologues I have read on NPX. A smart choice for a festival on fatherhood or parenting.
  • Fairytale of the Street

    Plumridge has done it again -- capturing the voice of the unseen, the misunderstood through careful attention to thought process, place and time, personality and situation, word choice and rhythm. Deeply upsetting, painful and hopeless if only we don't help those experiencing homelessness in our cities. A smart choice for a theatre that partners with orgs interested in social change and talkback.
  • Bulletproof Love

    Sickles finds just the right kind of story and structure to showcase the interior lives of these characters. Their poetic language, which contrasts the rough and tough "real voices", comes from deep within, revealing not only their immediate emotions but also their entire lives since they met. It's a powerful and beautiful f'd up anti-romance play that says a lot about romance -- the power of love and desire, longings and regrets. This would make a great choice for your Valentines showcase.

    This has the aura of a fable, of a time not present day. That is achieved wonderfully by the playwright's words, the careful construction of the speaker's observations and emotonal and intellectual state. Parents of children and young adults like the speaker Olly could relate. Our world, our schools and communities, hasn't figured out how the best way to protect and nuture people like Olly, and as a result sometimes devastating things happen because we fail to understand and care, instead dehumanize.
  • KRAMPUS MY STYLE - a monologue

    Add a little bit of evil and mischief to your Christmas showcase with this diabolical monologue. The entire setting and costuming would be a surprising sight after your typical characters on stage.

    Give me ten thousand or more scripts with no author names, and I'd be able to find the one written by this playwright. He's a formidable talent with character building and dialog. He crafts more than just beautiful lines but also memorable lines on life, love and death, and it's also freaking hilarious.
