Monologues Four Monologues. Four performers. Four confessions. Four ways of seeing the world. Each monologue stands alone yet resonates through the others - a chorus of confinement and release, where every word becomes both a key and a lock. Darkly funny and sharply observed, Monologues explores the many prisons we build for ourselves - physical, emotional, and moral - and asks: when the walls finally fall, what will we do with our freedom? Meet the voices talking to make sense of their situations:

Diary - a widowed lady in her fifties wrestles with betrayal, bad timing, and a son whose sexuality she struggles to comprehend. Words - a poet vents fury and wit against the cold cruelty of a rejection letter. Visions - a weary vicar finds spiritual renewal in uninvited revelations far more compelling than church bureaucracy. The Bank Manager - a pillar of respectability discovers visions that upend his world of numbers, replacing calculation with compassion.

Witty, poignant, and quietly subversive, Four Monologues shines a spotlight on the absurdity and resilience of the human spirit.
