Featured Monologue – Nameless Grace
COLETTE: I am beside myself. I am not myself because I don’t wish to be. (Beat) I have seen him… Walter… I’ve been to the garden, where we once loved, to bring comfort to myself by facing myself.
No one told me he was alive! (Beat) I watched him from behind the hedge; I saw what had become of him. (She drops her apple to the ground unknowingly.)Everything was retained, his hair, his gestures, his strength…until I noticed a sudden movement he made, a movement that wasn’t his own, as if something or someone had taken control of him.
He had grown quite pale, with those same jet-black eyes of his, but he was confused…like a lost boy searching for an answer to something that didn’t make sense; he was beautiful but was wrong.
(She faces the doctor again.) Walter has gone mad. And with that, knowing that, I wish to meet him in all his madness. I too am mad…for him, and I wish to be with him still, together, each of us just as crazy as the other because maybe then we will have a chance to find one another and be happy again, like we once were when we were bound to be married.
