Overview

This collection of nine monologue plays by Don Nigro introduces us to a lost, pregnant cat trying to survive in the woods, an old woman left at the altar who saves her moldy wedding cake and vows revenge, the private sorrows of the Bogey Man, a girl on a remote Himalayan mountain being stalked by a terrifying monster, a cynical science teacher forced by his school board to teach Creationism, the wife of a hydraulic fracking shill who realizes too late that her husband has sold his soul to murderers, Gogol preparing to burn his last great novel, a girl whose battle with the crows has an unexpected outcome, and an aging writer driving through a blizzard on New Year's Eve and trying to make sense of his life. A challenging and unusual collection of very different, often surreal, compelling monologues. 

The collection includes:
Mabel in the Woods
Miss Havisham's Wedding Cake
Lamentations of the Bogey Man
Yeti
The Descent of Man
Fragments
Evenings Near Kiev
