A collection of monologues around the subject of suicide
This collection of original monologues explores a tragic subject through the voices of those affected (in every way) by suicide or suicidal impulses. It is divided into four sections, each of which can be performed as a group or individually.
The pieces are intended not only for actors but for anyone who needs to give voice to the complex issues around this experience.
Excerpt
Stop
I just wanted it to stop.
You couldn’t hear it, could you? You thought I was fine.
But I wasn’t. It kept getting louder and louder, no matter what I did. No matter how much I blocked it out.
I did everything. I drank, I drugged, I slept around. Nothing worked.
It’s easy to say, “You should have held on. You should have been stronger.” You didn’t hear it. No one did. They heard music, talking. Birds singing. Different sounds. Good sounds.
Me, I only heard one thing. And it just kept getting louder.
Imagine a train coming right at you. Thunder. A hurricane. Your own personal hurricane. Imagine ten times that. And you still wouldn’t have it. It still wouldn’t be as bad.
And it never stopped. Never. No matter what I did. No matter how much I tried to stop up my ears. It was always there all the time.
Until I did what I did.
You don’t see. You think I was weak. That there was another way.
