The main titular monologue is quite brilliant, and would love to see some first rate actress enact it. The other five short pieces are varied in quality, but all contain some excellent material for aspiring actors to use as audition material. This MIGHT have gotten five stars if it weren't for the final piece, 'Killer', which contains a vivid description of animal torture, which I really could have done without.
