The End is Never the End
by Julia Kubis, aged 14, Friern Barnet School
“I absolutely loved this monologue. The piece strikes a perfect, and difficult to achieve, balance between existentialist dread and dark humour. A comparison that comes to mind is Beckett’s Happy Days, depicting as it does a protagonist who is utterly and totally in lack of control of their experience, and seems to be stuck in a hopeless and never-ending loop (this is also brilliantly reflected in the title). I think this is a brilliantly inventive text that could definitely be much longer – I for one hope to get to read this longer version some day!”
