Alan Bennett's Monologues as Dramas These plays are written for TV rather than theatre and are experimental for different styles of acting with more emphasis being placed on the single actors face. This is in order to show subtle changes in expressions hopefully giving the viewer a more clear insight into the characters feelings. This is more appropriate for "A Cream Cracker…" as it is a moving story, which is portrayed, even more so in the subtle movement of Doris's face "Cracked the photo.
One night I was kitchen washing the dishes when all of the sudden my mother walked in and asked me if I have talked to my dad. I had replied that I hadn't heard from him in about a year. The next thing I know the words "Your Grandpa passed away yesterday morning, nobody knows were your dad is and they can't keep his body in the morgue past tomorrow." came from her mouth. I just stood there in shock, I couldn’t do anything. She told me to get ready and that we could drive up to my dads house in Ona. When we got there the windows were broken and covered up with some type of sheet and there was a piece of paper on his door that read "Go away. Just leave me alone...please.". We wrote a note and put it on the door and went home. That night I laid in my bed screaming inside my head and crying my eyes out for over a hour. In the morning I had a huge panic attack. I kept hearing ringing and buzzing noises and I could hardly breathe. It took me about thirty minutes to work up the nerve to come out of my bedroom. I ended up going
We need to pack up your room because you’re moving to another part of the hospital. Morris when you first came into the hospital I saw patients with your situation
It was late I thought. Almost midnight yet I was still unable to sleep. I stared thoughtlessly at the moving shadows mumbling to myself, "it was just a story" but in my heart I knew it wasn't, it was more than a story, much, much more. Then, a crow appeared in the middle of my room. The crow stared at me with such intensity that I fell backwards into the safety of my pillow. I stared at the crow in shock as it disappeared into my closet and that's when I heard it, a long piercing whine that was like a nail to a chalkboard. I prayed that it would go away, I prayed with all my heart but it stayed there continuing its long whine. It was then when I caught a glimpse of it. I saw two glowing bloodshot eyes stare at me. I let out a scream born from terror and almost immediately my dad came bursting into my room. He stared at me with confusion but all I could do was point a shaking finger at my closet door. Cautiously, my father marched into the closet door only to find nothing inside. Then, without warning, the closet door slammed shut along with my father still inside.
I was a good day and a half of long hours in the car with mom. Listening to music and chatting the whole time. When we finally pulled up in a what was a overgrown driveway covered in weeds with shade of the trees above. I knew this was going to be our new home sweet home. As we finally pulled up the new house it was very broken. In the front 5 polls holding the roof up. The worn out brick was layered in thick busy weeds stretching up and around the whole house. Some windows were curiously boarded up some even broken. I saw something weird in the window. I pointed it out to mom she said it was just dirty but I knew I saw a little girl. She was dirty and about six or seven. She looked upset like she lost her favorite stuffed animal. I
Valiant, peerless, noble. Banquo was a father nobody can replace. I, Fleance, stand here before you to pay tribute to our humble friend three months after his tragic passing. He was but a young sapling who planted a legacy of perspicacity and integrity. The green of his sleeves and his ripe mind were in full bloom, to then be harvested by the reaper himself. Now that the Macbeth is deceased, it is finally safe for me to come out of hiding to formally commemorate the short but prosperous life of this great man. We all mourn the loss of our great friend who is to be remembered for his admirable honour to his country, his intelligence and his compassion as a father, all of which made him a kinsman, friend and father that one may not surpass.

Your P.O.V I woke up in (c/n)'s arms. I tried to pry his arms off of me without waking him up... I failed. He woke up, a confused expression plastered on his face. But as his gaze landed upon me, it had softened.
Does it remain possible to create six, female characters from a monologue written for a man? This is a challenge, which we took upon ourselves when working on Mark Ravenhills product. I will discuss further, how I worked through this task, when applying practitioners such as Bertolt Brecht and also Konstantin Stanislavski. When beginning to work on the text I was most apprehensive, this became evident early on in the rehearsal process, as we were challenging ourselves in creating convincing lifelike characters. An additional challenge that we came across was enabling the piece to look as though it had been written for a cast of six diverse females.
“Draco, seriously. Come on now, come on. You are dragging your feet on purpose. All of us need to sit down like rational adults and talk about the problem—”
My dad came into my room, turned on the light, and woke up my sister and I. I rose up out of my bed thinking that it was time to start getting ready for school. Then, my dad told us that my brother, Jacob, was very sick. I did not know how serious this was or what exactly was going on. As I walked into my parents room I notived my mom frantically pacing back and forth
She took her last steps off. The bus then started to squeak as it was pulling off. Ten minutes later the bus stopped at the brown apartments which where my mom and I were living. I ran to apartment 37 on the second floor. As I was running, I saw that my mom wasn't home from work yet. So I decided to call her to see when she was coming home. I picked up the phone and dialed her number. It then rang. You could hear the ring, It was a soft ringing, it then stopped.
And just like that I was awake. My hearing was the first thing to come back to me I was able to make out faint beeping noises and then my mother and fathers voice. “Tom she’s moving get the nurse” and then I opened my eyes to see a blank room my mother was sitting next to me crying but smiling at the same time. I had tubes coming from my arms and I felt like my head was on fire. I had a bracelet on with all my information on it. It said that the hospitals name was Road Island memorial hospital. Scared and confused I asked my mother what had happened to me. She told me I had been in a comma for the last two months after getting into a serious car accident. Still weary of what had been my reality for so long I asked her what my father did for a living, she replied with a smile and said “you know what he does Dear, he’s been an math teacher for the past 25 years.”
The moment we stepped foot into the hospital, I could hear my aunt telling my mother that “he is in a better place now”. At that moment, something had already told me that my dad was deceased; it was like I could feel it or something. I felt the chills that all of a sudden came on my arms. As my mother and grandmother were both holding my hand, they took me into this small room. The walls were white, and it had a table with four tissue boxes sitting on the top. My other grandmother was there, and so were my two aunts, my uncles, and
