Dickson's monologue is an arresting character study about a young woman traumatized still by her uncommon childhood, who's wrestling as she narrates with her biggest challenge in life - forgiving her monstrous father.
This monologuist does a fine job showing how the past shapes character as much as the present.

A one-minute play that works surprisingly well with 3 characters.
This will have the audience in stitches.

We cling to every word - from the funny but poignant airport-monologue to the final moment for these two characters (reconciled lovers??) - it's lovely.

A beautiful poem that could be crafted as a experimental choreopoem for actors.

Pay-per-view porn with geckos in space!? One of the most f'd up plays on NPX -- loved it!

You'd think the private space, homelife, a living room for a couple would be a safe place during this crisis. This playwright reminds us it isn't, and that intimacy and connection and communication is difficult. It reaches a feverish intensity in believable escalation.

Devastating little monologue. The ending has a weight that sits on your heart.
Makes you question patriotism and its relation to war.
This mother is from 1970s but her fears and her questions are for all future mothers.
This would be a fine addition to a showcase of plays on American history or Vietnam War.

The most ridiculous audition play! The casting director's monologue would be a smart choice for an audition.

You'd think such a story concept wouldn't be so heartfelt, but it was. A smart choice for a comedy showcase.

An older woman reclaims her sexuality, her desire for pleasure and joy for life, in this stellar monologue. It unfolds as an elephant-in-the-room-stopper, revealing how a widow has changed her course in life from weakness to strength. With touches of humor, this feisty woman will surprise you, maybe shock you. In the end she may make you smile because her refusal to feel shame is what makes her so fesity - and inspiring. A great monologue for an actress in her 60s.
