//Kurt Cobain Written by Kyle Burks

(A man walks into building with a shotgun accompanying him) My life is over. I hate and yet love everyone. (The man pulls out a picture with his wife Courtney and his kid) Courtney, she’s one heck of a fine wife, and Frances (starts sniffling) reminds me of what I used to be, a happy cheerful little kid…then my parents had to get a divorce! AAAAHHHH!!!! It’s because of them that I’m here with the one thing I know that loves me…my shotgun. I don't know what happened. Sure they argued a lot, but doesn't every couple? I was only 7 at the time, when they got the divorce I was feel like maybe it was me, but I know that my mom got tired of my dad and his drinking. (He rests his head against the wall behind him) I don’t want to end up like that, with the drinking and abusing my family. The drugs have lost their ability to make me happy, and drinking doesn’t do anything for me anymore. I can see it now in ink, “ Kurt Cobain the Worthless Piece of Matter: Dead”. Do I think anyone will remember me? I hope not...It's like I won't ever be able to be normal again. I lived for rock, I'm a good person but why do I feel the way that I do? I've always wondered where I'd end up at and I've, surprisingly, always thought this is where I'd be. It sounds frickin' weird I know but hey who ever said rockers were normal? (He pulls out a red pen, a piece of paper; and starts writing, he ends with these words: Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter. Please keep going Courtney, for Frances. For her life, which will be so much happier without me. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!") (He picks up the shotgun and points it towards his head, but waits, as he remembers when he fell in love with music) HA!! I always loved my uncle for getting me that guitar instead of whatever it was that he was going to get me. I ever remember how old I was when I first heard the group that got me going, the Sex Pistols. I remember Nirvanas first album too, Bleach…what I don’t remember though is when music gave me meaning to my life, I got so wrap up in the industry that I just stopped having any feelings for music and just wrote it just because that's what I always did. It’s all over now. I got this far, all I need to do is pull the trigger.

(With that Kurt pulled the trigger, and a couple days later an electrician finds him dead in the granny flat behind his mansion.)

Ryan W.-- One sectence, (...what i dont remember though are things like what it's...) maybe add a comma in between though and are. It seems short, Maybe add more detail about his parents, why did his parents get a divorce, was it because of him or was his mom getting abused, something to that effect. Brittany G- The setting needs to be more described. In the beginning he begins to explain what is going on and his childhood then he jumps back to the child remembering at the end. It should all be together so that way it is not confusing

Tiffany -- You might want to work on the stage directions they could be a little better. Also you have some grammer problems like "//(The man pulls out a picture with a woman with a baby)"// could be changed to make more sense. Instead you could say The man pulls out a picture of a woman and a baby, or a woman holding a baby something along those lines.

Ms. Schoen -- This monlogue doesn't flow very well. It seems to go from point A to B to C back to A. You need to make your ;more sense of your stage directions also. The stage directions are where you give your character life and make them have more of an impact. Give it more umph to give it more meaning.

Courtney- Needs better stage direction and description. I think that it has good potential.
