Kilgraston Drama Monologue Competition

Kilgraston Drama Monologue Competition

Kilgraston Drama Department recently launched The Monologue Competition, which was open to all pupils in the senior school.

The task was to write a 300 to 400 word monologue (complete with stage directions and a title) in response to the stimulus of ‘The Musings of a Teenage Mind’, a book of poems written by Mala Krishnamoorthy. Students could write about whatever they wished as long as it fell into this category.

Before submitting their entires, pupils had a workshop, with girls from all year groups attending, to explore some of the ways we could write our monologue and some of the content about which we could write.

The announcement of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners was made in a recent assembly with three students receiving a ‘Highly Commended’ Award (see below for the results).

1st Place – Lower Four’s Jaya  – ‘The Musings of a Teenage Mind’
2nd Place – Lower Sixth’s Lexie – ‘My Friend, The Phone’
3rd Place – Lower Fifth’s Flora – ‘Our Lullaby’
Highly Commended – Upper Fifth’s Esma  – ‘Woman’
Highly Commended – Upper Fifth’s Liliya – ‘Teenagers are never happy – reality or imposed opinion’
Highly Commended – Lower Fifth’s Kate – ‘Elizabeth’

Well done to everyone that entered and thank you for your entries.

We are really looking forward to seeing them performed either digitally or in person very soon.
