Synopsis
A collection of monologues about women in prison. Includes “Hate Male”, “January’s Alibi”, “Say Hi To Agnes For Me”, and “The Sins of Rebethany Chastain”.
“Is there a better format for “Monologue” plays than Zoom streaming? Based on last night’s stream of Daniel Guyton’s PRISON MONOLOGUES, PART I, I would opine a definitive “No.” A combination of brilliant writing, from-the-gut performance, and beautifully minimalistic (laptop) camera work made this collection a wrenchingly beautiful experience… Mr. Guyton’s writing is incredibly assured and effective. So many lines are laugh out loud funny and horrifying at the same time… These characters spring from the page, fully formed, fully human, fully frightening in their innocent fall into guilt… Congratulations on a beautiful event and an enthralling descent into the terrifying wellspring of the female soul.” (Bradley Rudy, Atlanta Theatre Buzz, 2020)
It was originally performed at the 2015 Atlanta Fringe Festival by Liberal Eye Productions.
