“What is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he lives” --Albert Camus.
​
The taxi driver. The lover. The husband. The actor. One bound, one rejected, one released, one applauded; all suffering. But from the heart of suffering springs inspiration. Atonal Heart is four monologues by people searching for the key to hope, forgiveness and happiness.
​
Vigilante Etiquette: Tied to a chair, a man has to teach his unseen captor a thing or two about the unspoken rules of taking on the role of a vigilante.
​
Two Weeks Notice: A bedridden romantic opens up about the pain of a lost love.
​
Down the Plughole: In the life of a comedian ‘laughter is the best medicine’ - but what if it is the only medicine?
​
And the Winner Is: Brandon has won an award and now he wants to say something meaningful with his acceptance speech.
By turns funny, poignant, tragic and heartfelt, these monologues shine a light on humanity in moments of raw vulnerability.
