I'm so grateful for being able to see this masterpiece. Thank you so much.

My theatre put this on last year. They did a good job but, I wish... theatre, if only it could be like a film, a DVD you could pull off the shelf any time you wanted. I want to go back to The Kiln and watch this production again. But I can't and can never do again. That's why I want to see as much theatre as I can when I can, because, while there may be meh plays, every so often you'll get a memorable one like this. And you can't ever revisit it, except through brief little trailers like this.

Could you tell me if this play has a good monologue of Nicolas ? I'm looking for fresh monologues, for drama school auditions

[Nightjourney]

The Son was an excellent play though and moved to the West End a few weeks ago. Might still be on. To be fair there might be a monologue in it but I saw it back in March and don't recall any standout ones. See if you can get a ticket and see what you think.

[Nightjourney]

No, but Killology by Gary Owen has some good ones for someone Nicholas's age. It's only a couple of years old and very powerful.

father was better, this is a bit common.
