It’s that day of the week and of course it is Monologue Derby here, full of monologues scraped from bowels of Youtube.
This week we’ll feature Tennessee Williams’ Southern-fried Gothic mess known as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, featuring Maggie the Cat – a woman married to Brick. Brick nurses an injury, doesn’t make love to his wife and is still in love with a dead dude from high school. Maggie has problems.
Here’s Maggie asking her husband why he looks at her “like that.”
I do want to mention how brave these actors are posting their monologues on Youtube for everyone to see.
In no particular order here are our thespians!

I’d like seeing a longer monologue from Actor A. Based on this small bit, I’d be happy to cast her. I found her work the most natural, believable, and interesting. Actor D would be my second choice. Her portrayal was the kind I’d expect to see in that role; she’d be a shoo-in, has the usual Tennessee Williams quality, even without the standard issue southern drawl.

A did start earlier but I cued her monologue up to the same starting point as everyone else, and yes she seems very natural and believeable. One of my other friends chose D. D has a live audience. That changes so much. It can get very subjective. Thanks for commenting!
