Notes: | part of "I Confess" a series of monologues. These monologues reflect a growing interest in the theme of confession and the subject of other people's lives in contemporary drama and television, including the so-called reality' shows which abound in today's programme schedules. In a live context the experience of direct one to one contact can be alarming and exhilarating by turns. Funny, moving, disturbing and challenging, these monologues will be of interest to actors in search of an audition piece as well as directors on the lookout for a new and highly flexible way of making theatre. | |||||

Notes: | part of Spend A Penny, a series of short plays based on an idea by Andy Arnold | |||||
Synopsis: | Imagine that there are two half-hour shows, one played out in the Ladies toilet, the other in the Gents. Imagine that each show consists of four five-minute monologues, written and performed by some of the finest theatre artists in Scotland. And then imagine that you experience each of these snippets alone, face to face with a single actor, either in a toilet cubicle, or somewhere around the wash-basins. This is the Arches 15th anniversary show Spend A Penny; and it makes an extraordinary, intense and challenging 21st-century theatre experience, sometimes as rich and intimate as a private moment with a sister or best friend, sometimes as grotesque and vivid as a trip to the underworld, in a painting by Brueghel or Bosch. | |||||
