Description
Twenty monologues for women.The twenty monologues in this volume range from the deeply serious to the extravagantly comic and accessible to a wide range of audiences."The pieces are comic, grotesque, on purpose. First of all because we women have been crying for two thousand years. So let's laugh now, even at ourselves" - Franca Rame"Set at the point where reality and ideology rub up against each other, [these] monologues are vivid, concise and entertaining comments on the female condition…comic-but-angry, raw-but-precise" - The Independent
