I NEED A MONOLOGUE!

For my Voice and Movement class, I'm looking for a monologue, especially if it can be tied to a sensory object. I'd love to play someone crazy; that's my ideal. But if you have anything else, any gems you've been hoarding for auditions, please share.

Thanks!

the playwright nicky silver (raised in captivity, pterodactyls) writes amazing crazy people. check out, god, what's her name, the shrink in raised in captivity, she totally loses it. g'luck!

also, from jose rivera's marisol there's a character called "woman in furs" who, in the postapocalyptic nightmare of new york city after the death of God, keeps talking about her bad credit. go!

and my birthday party is next saturday night. your presence IS ENCOURAGED.

Despite my limited knowledge of plays, there is one monologue that I would love to see performed and yet I've never heard of anyone doing it.

It's called, "I Think About You A Great Deal" by Arthur Miller. It's a piece he wrote about/for a playwrite named Vaclav Havel who was locked up in the Soviet Union for speaking out against the government.

It has been published in a number of places including as a part of a collection of essays and literature called "Living In Truth" that I have a copy of and I believe NCC has a copy of in their library. The piece is essentially Miller pretending that Havel is sitting there and having a conversation with him and telling Havel what his stand means to him. I adore the piece, but perhaps it is a bit too esoteric.
