This was a very interesting piece about sexual exploitation of children, written and performed by Monica Dolan, who was excellent on the stage.

Janie got more out of the piece than I did – I found the ending a little contrived and felt the piece lacked drama. It is difficult to make monologues truly gripping – we’ve seen some corking good ones lately. This one is redeemed for me, though, because the piece is so interesting and Monica Dolan is such a strong stage presence.
Below is the trailer…

The reviews are, deservedly, pretty darn good – click here for a search term that finds them.
Another winner at The Bush as far as we are concerned.
I first heard rather than saw Monica Dolan when she was playing a deranged woman who apparently went to extraordinary lengths to try and prove that her ex-doctor played by What’s His Name, Him Who Was In that David Morrissey, Him David Morrissey. Anyway, she made your hair stand on end. She was very scary.
A very versatile actress, I suspect. Would have been really good in NewsRevue.
