Welcome to our celebration of new writing – a modern collection of moving, thought provoking and eclectic monologues about all aspects of being a dad, from the winners of our latest writing competition – Daddylogues.
**TRIGGER WARNINGS**
These monologues are about the raw emotions on becoming a new dad and not feeling ready, a dad’s sleep deprivation, reminiscing on the loss of generations of fathers, a dad exploring and nurturing a son’s new trans identity, and dealing with anger towards a deceased father’s toxic, negative influence.
Our five pieces are beautifully performed by our wonderfully talented performers – links to them are below:
