Colin McEnroe | To Wit: Give Me Your Answer, Do:

If you get a chance to see this guy, do so. Mike Daisey just finished a very short run at the second stage of Yale Rep, and he'll be up in Cambridge during April. I wanted to see him partly because I've been toying with the idea of developing a monologue. It seems like a natural extension of everything else I do. I participated, very briefly, in a memoir conference at Trinity College this weekend and, even doing a very short reading with some other memorists, it struck me that radio has made me more of a performer than most writers.  What is a monologue, I thought, but a fusion of what I do on radio and what I do as a memoirist and writer of personal narratives?
