Elmo On The Half Shell
Published in
The Pacific Review
Joey knows he screwed up, and he's trying to make things right with his girlfriend. The problem, you see, isn't with him. It's with his brother Nate ...
Joey tries to explain how the trouble started, but the more he talks, the less sense it makes -- even to him -- until his life starts to unravel in front of him.
A monologue for a disturbed guy in his 20s. A coat rack, table and chairs. Twenty minutes.
Produced separately at the Washington Theatre Festival, Source Theatre Company, DC, 1998. Produced as part of Some Other Place by Black Dog Theatre, DC Arts Center, 2000. |
JOEY Talking is good. Sue. I love talking to you. But you know? Not talking can be good, too. Couples do it all the time. They decide that a few subjects are off limits. Then make a list. Stick it on the fridge. And presto! It's good times all over again ... |
