The Blonde, the Brunette and the vengeful Redhead is a one-man play from the brilliant mind of Australian playwright, Robert Hewett. The play composed of a 7 character monologue-all in differentsettings, costumes and character descriptions. The play indeed poses as a big challenge to whoever actress will do it because of the 7 characters she has to portray. Three main characters cast the superb play- a blonde, a redhead and a brunette.
Indicatively, an all around and versatile performer/ actress would very much fit this play. She has to internalized each character to allow the audience to mistook that there are plenty of character actors portraying the characters, when in fact it only has one. A superb actress can indeed pull it off and deserves a standing ovation.
The story is way complicated because the actress will portray all seven roles which includes the Blonde, the Brunette and the Redhead. It is a difficult task-being able to portray 7 characters at the same time and only a versatile actress can do this. The play can be a huge break for a starting actress. Great stage design is a plus and should feature 6 concealed panels that will serve as the dressing area of the actress all throughout the monologue.
The play is an over-all comic play that tells of the story of Rhonda, an unattractive and fat red haired wife of a good for nothing, cheating husband. She was the main character of the story. The actress plays six more characters including the lusty blonde named Tanya, and the scheming brunette Lynette- who happens to be Rhonda's neighbor and bestfriend. The story unfolds when Rhonda desperately seeks out her husband's attention.
Rhonda goes to jail by commiting murder on a blonde girl she wrongly accuses to be her husband's lover. The blonde girl left a lesbian Doctor lover and a young son. The character of Lynette is equally engaging as that of Rhonda's since she plays the devil's advocate in the story.
It is a comic thrill with a hint of mystery. A great theatre play for a talented actress longing for her big break.
