This is the second episode of Character Solos, a very exciting and unusual series of monologues from The Actors Centre. Usually, in a monologue, the characters are speaking their thoughts out loud and nobody hears them or they’re speaking to an imagined audience who makes no interruptions.

Character Solos 1 is a set of seven monologues, written and performed by the actors. We’ve watched a lot of online monologues over the past year and in most of them, the character is alone, or at least not with anyone who’s going to interrupt. If another character is mentioned, the monologue informs us of who they are and what they say. They do not appear in person.

Marie and Stella live in adjacent flats with adjacent balconies. They’re aware of each other, but they don’t really know each other. Gone are the times when people are friends just because they live near to each other. Now, we go further afield and seek out the people we want to be friends with. Besides, if Marie and Stella have any feelings for each other, it’s probably more annoyance than anything. Loud music in the morning is seldom welcome!

I really like plays with disabled characters in. It makes me feel better to know people like me are worth writing plays about. I especially like it when they’re written by Athena Stevens. Partly because she is disabled too but mostly because she is a really good playwright. I know I can’t write as well as she does but she makes me feel like I can do interesting things too.
