About this book

This hilarious volume brings together three funny, vibrant and theatrical monologue plays for female performers. The Wheelchair on My Face by Sonya Kelly
Sonya tells her story about growing up with poor vision that went undiagnosed until she was seven years old. Combining memoir, theatre and stand-up comedy, this delightful story of a myopic child shows us how we can better the world even if we cannot see the world. Charolais by Noni Stapleton
A dark comedy of love, longing and an intense rivalry with a Charolais cow. Siobhán is forced to share the affections of her farmer boyfriend with his beloved, prize-winning French heifer. Overcome with desire, Siobhán develops a homicidal jealousy for this cow, while feeling equally murderous towards her snobbish, soon-to-be mother in law. The Humours of Bandon by Margaret McAuliffe
Nobody knows where their five year old will take that first after-school activity. To the surprise of her mother, Annie takes it all the way to the top – of the Irish Open Dancing Championships. Armed with optimism, drive and passion, Annie's about to learn that life doesn't always go according to plan. Developed as part of Show in a Bag, an artist development initiative of Dublin Fringe Festival; Fishamble: The New Play Company; and Irish Theatre Institute to resource theatre makers and actors. The plays were then produced by Fishamble, touring throughout Ireland, the UK, USA and Europe.

The 
Humours 
of 
Bandon
though 
I 
know 
this 
is 
my 
time. 
‘Bonaparte’s 
Retreat’?! 
Bonaparte’s 
about 
to 
fuckin’ 
retreat 
alright.
She 
walks 
up 
centre 
stage 
and 
pushes 
the 
coffee 
table 
up 
against 
the 
back 
wall, 
gets 
on 
top 
of 
it 
and 
waits 
for 
the 
opening 
beat 
of 
‘Smooth 
Criminal’ 
which 
plays 
overhead. 
She 
dances 
to 
the 
beats, 
jumps 
off 
the 
table 
and 
dances 
into 
the 
two 
spotlights 
that 
are 
illuminating 
her 
feet 
creating 
shadows 
up 
against 
the 
back 
wall. 
She 
dances 
through 
two 
verses 
and 
three 
choruses 
finishing 
on 
her 
toes 
in 
the 
classic 
Michael 
Jackson 
pose.
Lights 
change.
She 
finishes 
dancing 
to 
‘Smooth 
Criminal’
.
Yup. 
That’s 
how 
it 
went 
down. 
Just 
like 
that. 
Deadly 
silence.
Or, 
if 
audience 
clap 
after 
end 
of 
dance:
That’s 
actually 
not 
how 
it 
went 
down 
at 
all. 
There 
was 
a 
deadly 
silence.
Apart 
from 
my 
mother 
who 
is 
clapping 
ferociously 
‘good 
girl 
you 
that 
was 
lovely’ 
and 
I 
can’t 
work 
out 
whether 
she’s 
proud 
or 
hasn’t 
got 
a 
clue 
what 
I 
just 
did?! 
Rita 
smiles 
at 
me 
through 
her 
glassy 
eyes 
and 
I 
wink 
back. 
Assumpta 
is 
charging 
forward, 
all 
puffy 
cheeks 
and 
high 
heels 
and, 
I 
dunno, 
I 
kinda 
don’t 
care. 
I 
have 
a 
skill. 
I 
have 
a 
niche 
skill 
and 
I 
can 
use 
it 
any 
way 
I 
like. 
I 
don’t 
have 
to 
stay 
here 
and 
defend 
anything, 
but 
myself. 
I’ve 
proved 
it. 
QED.
The 
end.
