My Mother Said I Never Should:

The first monologue I am going to be performing is from the play 'My Mother Said I Never Should' by Charlotte Keatly, written in 1985.
The play see four generations of women addressing the issues of relationships, motherhood and teenage pregnancy. The character that I am playing is Rosie and in the monologue it is her 8th birthday. To the eye Rosie is the daughter of 48 year old Margret. However the rest of the play reveiles that Rosie was taken off of her true monther Jackie when at 19 years of age she descovered she was too young to care for a baby.
The play skips between the different generations showing different stages in the womens lives. Just before my monologue is a scene between Margret and her mother Doris when Rosie is a baby.
