  • Go Contex Go Savichv1.Pdf
    Advance Praise for Go, Contex, Go! Vlad Savich’s stories seem to be a reaction to encounters in early life—some real, some perceived, some imagined—with the forces of limitation: parental, political, religious and cultural. And so, he fights, against unfairness, injustice, and unkindness... but above all, against boredom. When he is strident, Savich thrills. When he is ironic, he delights. His prose style is filtered through Russian, Ukrainian, and Canadian French, resulting in a pungent, inimitable and almost unplaceable accent. It is our good fortune that he is so prolific; this is exciting, entertaining writing we are better off for having more of. Call him the rock-and-roll New Realist Turgenev of Kiev, or the tragicomic punk Chekhov of Montreal. Whatever you call him, read him (and ignore the OTHER Vlad altogether).

Spring was running through the streets and alleys of a large old city. Waiting for aventures incroyables, it stirred up my 17-year-old soul that lived for the sensation of big events. Everything was betokening a miracle: the wind rushing into the classroom, trees just about to explode into sticky young leaves, and the immature April moon dropping into my romantic dreams with its calligraphically written “C.” An unknown, mysterious world lifted its veil in them.

  • Monologues for Girls
    1 MONOLOGUES FOR GIRLS One Sunday Afternoon by James Hagan [This lovely, if somewhat sentimental play, written in 1930, is about young love in a small Midwestern town. Amy, a romantic young girl, has a crush on the town bully and she's describing it to her friend Virginia.] AMY I don't know. Maybe it was love, I don't know, but— Well, when I was very young— of course, that's a long time ago, you understand. It was in school. There was this boy. I don't know‐‐he never looked at me and I never...Virginia, did you ever have a feeling in your heart‐‐Something that you feel is going to happen and it doesn't— that's the way my heart was— (she touches her heart) It wasn't love, I know that— (pause) He never even noticed me. I could have been a stick in the mud as far as he was concerned. Virginia, this boy always seemed lonely somehow. Everybody had it in for him, even the teachers—they called him bully—but I know he wasn't. I saw him do a lot of good things—when the big boys picked on the smaller ones, he helped the little fellows out. I know he had a lot of good in him—good, that nobody else could see—that's why my heart longs for him. Little Women based on the Novel by Luisa May Alcott adapted for the stage by Lorraine Cohen [The story of the trials and tribulations of the March family.
