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.
