Eight - Contemporary Monologues

Eight compelling monologues offering "a portrait of a generation" ...

From Millie, the jolly-hockey-sticks prostitute who mourns the loss of the good old British class system, to Miles, a 7/7 survivor, and Danny, an ex-squaddie who makes friends in morgues, Eight looks at what has happened to a generation that has grown up in a world where everything has become acceptable

In its original performances, each audience voted for four of the eight monologues that they wished to see, resulting in a different line-up at every performance

A ninth unperformed monologue is included in this edition

The monologues are ideal for performance by student and amateur groups; any number and any combination can be performed

They also provide excellent opportunities for actors looking for audition material

" ... beautifully lyrical" ~ Backstage

"Hickson's writing is superb" ~ NYTheatre.com
