The Pillowman Question

Posted: 9/8/06 at 10:00pm

I'm in NFL [Speech and Debate] and was wondering if it would be appropriate to do a monologue from the Pillowman for a Dramatic Interpretation. I haven't read the script yet and am planning to buy it if I think I can do a speech from it. I know it's about strong material, but would it be appropriate for the judges to hear [i.e. the parents of other speech kids]? Please let me know so that I can order the script promptly if need be!

The only long monologues are actual stories Katurian tells.

So if you want to tell some interesting, and gory, stories - then it is perfect.

I recommend you getting it anyway. It's a fantastic read.

Yes, I figured that'd be the common response.

its pretty gruesome, and plus a lot of the stories are aided by visuals. not that you couldnt relate the stories without them, its very well written. but if you want to do something out of the ordinary, you could look into it, i suppose. GRUESOME, like whoa, though. I was frightened.

you may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have
