Nine Monologues, 2004
Audio Interviews and Digital Video (10:09 min)
“By far the most original and haunting piece in the show is "Nine Monologues," by Peter B. Becker Nelson... An actor of stunning capabilities, Nelson deftly assumes the mannerisms -- fluttery eyes, facial twitches -- of the female speakers, from the girlish hesitancy of a child to the resonant tones of an older woman. Watching a young, scruffy guy discussing sex differences in feminine voices is a bizarre, and utterly fascinating experience.”

“One of the most interesting finds is Peter B. Becker Nelson with his project “9 Monologues” … The performance and the piece appear to be non-partisan--that is, it makes no real statement about what it means to be a woman, but lets the viewer grapple with these issues… [It] is riveting to watch and the potential it represents is exciting.”
