New Monologues by Nick Linnehan
Thursday, August 20, 2009
These Aren't My Shoes Productions is proud to announce that the Monologue Database will now feature monologues from two plays by Nick Linnehan: Identity and Erosion. Below are just two short excerpts. There are three monologues from Identity on the Mike page, and the Psychic's full monologue from Erosion is also available. Please enjoy these four new pieces.
MIKE:
I always knew I was different. Even when I was younger and Dad would take me to the softball games. When I got a little older, I caught myself staring more and more. You remember Carlton? God didn't he have the nicest...? I used to stare at him, wondering what it would be like to touch him. Then when I saw him kiss Dianne, I got this new feeling of jealousy, despair, and envy all rolled into one. I started to shy away from Dad and the guys on the team. But that only made me more lonely. So I decided that I would try to play JV Ball. I thought if I did what straight guys did, I would turn straight, right?
PSYCHIC:
You see, I always loved board games and my favorite was Monopoly. Well, one night I was playing right as I started getting clean. I realized getting high was a lot like Monopoly. The dice were my life. At first, each roll was fun, everything on the board was open, I had money for the bank. There was no problem... As I kept rolling and getting high, there was less money and people started building houses. Now with each roll, each hit was a struggle, but still manageable. I was getting by, getting good rolls, skirting around Boardwalk and Park Place. But slowly, each roll got harder, more expensive and more dangerous...
