“In just four pages Jonathan Edgington gives a life story - a devastating one - a short one. The staccato sentences are loaded with imagery as we hear about a young woman's happy childhood and the dreadful turn of events which change her; break her. A fantastic monologue for a young actor - rich in language and vision. Quietly brilliant.”
Paul Smith (Writer) LORELEI (2011) is dramatic 6 minute monologue for a female actor that tells the moving story of a young life gone wrong, the struggle to cope with a new identity and the loss of the past. The play was premiered by the Berry Theatre, Hedge End on 30 January 2012 in their second Page to Stage Festival and was most recently performed in Australia. LORELEI can be read and purchased here. |
