Some monologues are slow in delivery. The surprises and description are the payoff. The matter of fact delivery is what makes it fun.

A captivating monologue -- wondering who the speaker is directing their vitriol at, and then being surprised by the end. It's the recognition and empathy that makes this unforgettable, along with each slap. Self-hatred and low esteem is brutally captured in another winning monologue by Martin.

Even if you don't have a connection to the celebrity aspects of this monologue, you probably will connect to this monologue's exploration of friendship/former friendship. In less than a page, Heyman covers plenty of backstory while revealing the speaker's emotions.

There's an unsettling weight as I remember what I just read. A powerful monologue on mourning and a tragedy's effects on individual and community.

A powerhouse play on eating disorders for a young actor for the college crowd. Sarasin digs deep into the guilt and shame of this flawed character. Honest, brutal. This should be widely read. One of my fav monologues I have read in a long long time.

The right actor will have sick fun capturing this murderer and directing their speech to the audience. An active monologue perfect for auditions.

I loved this. A simple setup (chairs, direct delivery) becomes a riveting play for various voices, a thrilling ride for the audience.

Open to interpretation -- time, setting, character, even style -- this a great monologue with tension, deep in emotion. Physical or still, taking up space or seated an actor will have a great time with this monologue.

I love that as the story unfolds your mind is wondering is it more than just a fall, you're overly concerned like the spectators in the parking lot. Autumn has a charming personality and voice and confidence in who she is. Great description of setting and event.
A fun role for an older actor.

Thought-provoking and funny monologue about our tendency to waste precious time on earth. Procrastinators will recognize themselves. More monologues, please, Mr Richter.
