SYNOPSIS: How do we choose to live our lives? What baggage do we bring to our relationships and to the situations in which we find ourselves? In Living A Real Life, sixteen compelling characters confront their fears, anger, paranoia and pain. They take audiences on a journey filled with hilarity and heartbreak. As a collection presented as a showcase or evening of theatre, or as individual pieces performed in competitions or for auditions, the monologues in Living A Real Life will be thought-provoking and memorable.
