Hello! Welcome to the first official post of The Monologue Blog. This is where it gets good!
My first selection is a play I’ve recently read. It had been sitting on my shelf for a while after a theatre friend of mine suggested the playwright to me. I decided to make this my first selection because I liked the play and quite frankly, I needed to start somewhere.
So without further ado, this week’s selection is…
Stage Kiss by Sarah Ruhl
What is it about?
She has returned to the theatre after taking a long break. Little does She know that He is her co-star. They fell in love once before, and they’ve fallen for each other again. But, She is married and has a daughter. He is in a relationship. What happens when a past love shows up in the present and where will it lead them?
