The Cancer Monologue Project is a collection of thirty monologues developed in workshops in which people affected by cancer are invited to write and perform their stories about living with the disease. These workshops were led by Tanya Taylor and Pamela Thompson, who both know firsthand the profound effects cancer can have on individuals and their families.
These monologues are about reawakened desire, dreams of flight and finding humor in the most unlikely places. Like letters from the frontlines, they capture the glory and darkness of life. Each voice is unique, and yet each one touches upon the universal in portraying lives that have taken unexpected turns. Together they are a tribute to the diversity of the cancer community and to the strength of the human heart.
