And I could only reply “the audience.†I hated the idea of a phony set-up with a social worker, or a psychiatrist, or someone in the “listening†professions – to justify a long monologue; never explain, the monologue is part of a long theatrical tradition, it is direct, it is intimate. And there is no looking away from it, we must go on the journey of the monologue with the character, even if he or she is breathing fire that burns the air we breathe.â€--This text refers to an alternate Paperbackedition. |
