Clips from the play The Stilettos Monologues
The Stilettos Monologues is a modern play centered around the stiletto, and performed by an all-female cast! In it, sixteen characters – women and female gendered shoes – tell dramatic and humorous stories of identity, relationships, love, desire, womanhood, and empowerment. Each of the play’s fifteen monologues takes a journey through personal or public conflicts amid revelations of power, scandal, infidelity and more. Some stories also include African American cultural expressions such as jazz, slam poetry, call and response and step familiar to Greek life and step traditions. Throughout the play, the stiletto stands as a metaphorical representation of womanhood in all its complexities and show that stilettos are indeed a metaphor for life! The performance has a run-time of approximately ninety (90) minutes.
