I am very lucky to have been one of four winners of the Write Now monologue competition. My monologue "Too Poor for Pride" was performed and recorded. It was directed by John Bradburn. The piece was inspired by slum life in Victorian England and is about the difficult decision that a young, single mother has to make.

The monologue was previously recorded for radio and as you can see the two versions are very different.
