Honeymoon monologue fans! Thank you for your
interest!
Here's the deal:
Currently 'Honeymoon," is unpublished, and to be honest with you, I think
it was a bit of a mess. ....just never quite came together, so when I "cannibalized'
the play for monologues, I didn’t anticipate the number of requests to see the
script. And it didn'y make the data migration and the playwright is too busy and popular to type it in...so...
That being said, I
have copied and sent it to a few people, which cost about $15 bucks, all told. I
could do that for you, if you're interested. All I'd need is a mailing
address...and then you can see it for yourself, the workshop script, with lines and scribbles, Soon, it will be an updated rewrite in a PDF, and this will not be available anymore
Till then,,Hope
this is helpful, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
For the workshop manuscript, follow the pay pal button below , put down the
$15 bucks, (Includes shipping and handling,) and you'll get one first class mail!
Lower middle class parents with kids that are too smart for
their own good. His Dad watches Honeymooner reruns. His mom wants to get out of
the house and sell water purification systems. His sister has just married
"Punt," a "Punch and Judy" puppeteer who Jody doesn't
trust, Judy and Jody's best friend Twyla has left her abusive boyfriend
"Nick....again. And Jody walks into the reception, interrupting a
conversation between Judy and "Punt" where Judy realizes they thought
more about the wedding then they did about marriage...and that's where the
monologue begins. That Jody tends to talk around the point, rather than
getting to it, should be obvious. The dramatic question would be...what's he
Noi talking about?
Jody is a recovering Psych major, and both he and his sister
Judy are, as may be obvious, a little "in their heads" all the time,
thinking, analyzing second guessing. They are both going thru pivotal moments
in their lives, with her getting married and him wondering about his sexuality
and commitment level and ability to follow thru and actually do all the good
things he's learning, or just keep being "young and free" for awhile
longer. In their own way, they both experience the desire for love versus the
fear of commitment. So...That's the context before the monologue you
mentioned.
In the end, they both learn to find ways to think less, witness
more, worry less, wonder more..... dream less, wake up more...Any other
questions, don't hesitate to ask, and best wishes for continued usccess and
exploration,
