Talking With... (Paperback)

Jane Martin

Characters: 11 female

Bare Stage.

These extraordinary monologues received a standing ovation at Louisville's Actors Theatre. Idiosyncratic characters amuse, move and frighten, always speaking from the depths of their souls. They include a baton twirler, a fundamentalist snake handler, an ex rodeo rider and an actress willing to go to any length to get a job.

1982 winner of the American Theatre Critics Association Award for Best Regional Play.

"A dramatist with an original voice ... [and] gladsome humor." N.Y. Times

"With Jane Martin, the monologue has taken on a new poetic form, intensive in its method and revelatory in its impact." Philadelphia Inquirer
