  • im george... effing 2 page monolouge...

  • @TeamQuabs I loved it, it was so much fun to perform.

  • okay im george and i have one question. why does she soak them? (oh haha he peed his pants, everyone gives that answer) but i mean there has to be some sort of deeper meaning to that. or is it just simply the obvious?

  • @FiresEnvy I didn't even think of that. A common nightmare is for one to be naked/in underwear; I think that's what the play is getting at.

  • aright, i'm playing george in my school's play- can you give me some tips on how to move on the whole monologue- you know, to keep it funny and interesting?

  • Steve, remember that the whole play is a surrealistic nightmare, George at this point is in conflict between playing the game of being an actor, and yet trying to figure out what's going on. He tries to act, but is a bad actor. Think about it like this, if you play a drunk, you don't act outlandish, because drunk people try to act normal in reality, but end up making a fool of themselves unconciously. George is trying to act, but is unaware how hammy he actually comes off.
