Contrasting Monologue - Unbearable Hotness
Looking for a contrasting monologue was tricky but I finally decided on doing one from a play called 'Unbearable Hotness' written by Gabriel Davis. Gabriel Davis is an American writer but this play has been performed in the England. The only thing I was unsure about was having to do an American accent but I was told that I didn't have to do one. So I read the script and decided to try Andrew's monologue, called 'Killing Chuck'
Synopsis-
Andrew has thrown a house party in hopes that the girl of his dreams, Marisa, will attend. Once he learns she is somewhere in his home, he becomes set on winning her heart. Matters are complicated when Chuck arrives bent on the same goal, followed by Jill who reveals her ex boyfriend is pursuing Marisa. Beatrice (aka "Benny"), a tom-boy, watches on amused as her peers become more and more frenzied over the unbearably hot object of their affections. When Marisa finally enters, passions run high and Chuck is almost killed! In the end, an unexpected twist unites Marisa with her true love.
I like this script because its comical but serious as the same time as Andrew has just killed someone. it features comedy and rather weird moments. For example when you find out that Chuck has always liked his cousin and tries to get with her. I also like this script because its not too long and you can play around with it of how you deliver different. I've picked to do this one over the others because I believe its more suitable for me. This is because I like Chucks characteristics such as innocent, nervous and his humour he has for example he tells the girl he loves the she reminds him of Sandra Bullock.

I haven't read the entire play, but according to your photo of your script Andrew is the one telling Marisa she reminds him if Sandra Bullock?
