10-min monologues
Pete Malicki is the master of the monologue. In the inventive, surprising, engaging, highly human, intensely theatrical, extremely well written, and diabolically cunning short solo pieces in Monosauce, he finds deeply creative ways to explore the darkest corners of the human psyche with insight and heart. Nobody does it better.
- Seth Freeman, 3-time Emmy winning writer
I enjoyed A Psychopath and its clever dialogue.
- Tim Miller, Academy Award nominee and Director of Deadpool
