A monologue from Women of Choice <\/em>by David Rush<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

(Female, Dramatic, 20s)<\/strong>
\nThis standalone monologue is entitled \u201cBARBARA, the Swimmer.\u201d Barbara has been tossed overboard from a boat in the ocean along with other people who have already drowned, and she is currently trying to stay afloat while the ocean waves crash over her head. While she swims, she begs for the onslaught to stop; she also speaks to whatever entity will listen: her lover and God. She prays, she remembers her swimming skills, she recounts her large lungs and their capacity for air. Meanwhile, dark things are swimming toward her in the water, and her breath keeps getting shallower and shallower. She is on the precipice of either drowning or surviving.<\/p>\n
