Concept - Shirioshi Monologues



This book will be a collection of monologues to be performed in public on crowded trains. The aim being to confuse, entertain, enrapture – generally to allow anybody who to create a viral fictionalisation of the carriage space for the entertainment of other passengers. A range of different approaches to the monologue concept will be included from stories about unrequited love to the ramblings of mad people – we will not include any work that specifically reference acts of terrorism (the ‘I’ve got a bomb’ scenario), however any other themes will be accepted.

The book will be published as an ebook (numerous formats) and distributed for free. It will also be published via a POD  service (or physically if funding is available) for individuals wishing to buy it. The cover will be black.

Brave readers will then asked to perform readings in trains and (if possible) record get somebody to discretely record them doing it. Videos can be uploaded to Youtube and then linked via the Shirioshi Monologues Blog.
