#RIP #ChristopherDurang. The very first monologue I ever performed publicly was from his 1983 black comedy "Baby with the Bathwater," which was considered scandalous in high school because it was about the two worst parents in human history (Act 1), and the walking nightmare their child becomes once an adult (Act 2). One of my first exposures to truly transgressive literature, which then led to a huge rabbit hole once hitting college. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/03/theater/christopher-durang-dead.html
