monologue 1

Play : Sugar Daddies by Alan Ayckbourne 

Sugar Daddies was first performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 2003. 

The play is about two sisters, Sasha and Chloe, who live in a flat together. Sasha, who is in her early twenties, meets a much older man, named Val. Val buys Sasha lots of expensive things and spoils her, but Val has a criminal past. Chloe doesn't approve of Val. Chloe and her boyfriend go on holiday and when they come back Val has transformed Sasha and Chloe's flat with new furniture. Chloe gets angry and tells Sasha to get rid of it and that she wont come back until its gone. 
Whilst Sasha and Val are at a dinner party, Sasha sees a more violent and frightening side to Val, after he gets into a fight. Sasha takes a call and is told that Chloe fell in front of a train, but has survived. Sasha and Chloe make up and Sasha ends her relationship with Val. The play ends with Sasha and Chloe returning home. 



The monologue that I have chosen is from the scene when Chloe returns home from her holiday to find that the flat has been transformed. Sasha gets angry with her and tells her how pathetic she is, because her boyfriend doesn't love her but she loves him. 
I think this monologue is suitable for me, because Sasha is very young and I think I can capture her impressionable character in this monologue.
