Each monologue takes you on a different journey. From a woman driven to extreme actions by her husband, to a mother exploring her sexuality (during an existential crisis), and to Hitler's wife fantasising about how she could murder him.

In this episode, listen to 3 original monologues inspired by the theme 'spotlight,' recorded live at our first-ever live show, Tiny Theatre, at Soho House Amsterdam. Hosted by Daniella Down and Sirah Erens.

Each monologue takes you on a different journey. There’s the darkly funny one from beyond the grave about his untimely death that took the spotlight in the papers. There's the one about a young man's search for identity — amidst a Pride parade that gets hijacked by Climate Activists. And there's the tragically hilarious one about one woman's speech at her parents-in-law's 40th wedding anniversary that puts her in the spotlight in a way she did not expect! 

Monologues

1. Chicken Bone — Written and performed by Chauncey Meeks-Owens

2. The Boy Became A Submarine – Written by Kieran O'Flaherty and performed by Pim van Amerongen

3.  Happy Anniversary — Written and performed by Sara Visser

Join hosts Daniella Down and Sairah Erens on an audio adventure — a trio of original monologues inspired by ✨alcohol✨ 

Each monologue takes you on a different journey. There’s the witty one about having to hide your drink in a teacup to survive the dramas at a dry family get-together. There’s the darkly curious one about a teenager's Christmas dinner that quickly becomes messier than spilt gravy. And there’s the one in which a speech at the company’s end of year do go totally tits up.

Monologues

1. Dry — Written by Liz Tait and performed by Anna Anning

2. Gravy is Better Than No Gravy – Written by Britt van Klaveren and performed by Jonelle Marasigan

3.  Lisa Harper's Last Day — Written by Maggy van Eijk and performed by Sairah Erens.

Join hosts Daniella Down and Sairah Erens on an audio adventure — a trio of original monologues inspired by music.

Each monologue takes you on a different journey. There’s one that’s a rhythmic rumination about how and why some music just hits us the way it does. There’s the one about a prolific nightclub in Birmingham that was — for three years, anyway — arguably one of the greatest music venues in the world. And there’s the one about a daughter’s connection to a classical piano concerto and how it soundtracks her life.

Monologues

1. Life Isn't Just A Song And Dance — Written and performed by Charlie Bird

2. Mother's Club – Written by Rebecca Took and performed by Amy Leigh Sandford

3.  Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia — Written and performed (including the music) by Sandy Topzand
