31 Plays in 31 Days, #14 - "Loving Sister in Arms"

Today's piece is from Mrs. Frost again, a little bit different in form. I generally don't write monologues into the shows-- I tend not to like them, as I find it unrealistic when people speechify for that long, and they often get boring to listen to. But this is for a character who was never listened to when she was young, so now that she has power she talks as much as she wants. And this is in the form of a letter, with the intention of staging it so the actor enters adiegetically to speak the words of it out loud. I count a monologue as basically equivalent to a scene "of at least one page" because the number of lines is roughly equivalent.
