Monologue Description: “0″ is a drama about having the confidence to change the course of one’s dreary life.

Character Description: In this monologue, Marcuse talks to a friend about how he feels that his life is not what he wishes it would be. He discusses how he needs to make a conscious change.

MARCUSE:

You ever just stare at a dot on your ceiling? I have. I get so lonely sometimes that I actually found myself staring at a circle on my ceiling…just like a zero.

—In a way, a parallel…I identified with the zero. My eyes completely fixating on it, identifying with it…trying to understand it’s Goddamn meaning.

I began seeing something…I began reflecting the circular design on my ceiling in relation to my life. And that’s when I began seeing…

I began seeing my loneliness and I started thinking about everyone else’s loneliness and how we are all alone inside ourselves.

Madness is a lonely state of affairs. I’m not saying I’m crazy, although I am sure I must sound nuts as I talk to you but I am trying to somehow make a deeper understanding of things, without feeling too sorry for myself.

I wanted to jump through that zero on my ceiling…I wanted things to change…I wanted to experience anew…I was imaging a secret world, sort of like Being John Malkovich.

I thought about how my life is like a zero. How, things up until now have kind of come full circle for me.

I want to stop expanding this zero because it seems to keep growing, expanding, getting much bigger…it’s time I break the circular line and go in one direction…
