THE EIGHT

Reindeer Monologues

by Jeff Goode

copyright © 1994
 
 
 
 
The Eight is published by Baker's Plays


A dark, dark Christmas comedy. Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment.

As mass media descends upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, which seems to implicate everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself.

With each deer's confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer. ...and murkier and murkier.

Cast Size: 8
Running Time: 80-90 minutes

PRODUCTION HISTORY

DRAMATURGY

Reading a reindeer monologue might look better with a reindeer costume. If reindeer aren't your thing, a bunny costume might do the trick. But, of course, pirate costumes usually blow any kind of animal costume out of the water in terms of awesomeness.
