Ampalaya Monologues is a collection of 27 monologues about love, heartache, and bitterness written by Mark Ghosn. It is a hugot-fueled offering that captures in stories what it’s like to love, to lose, to be alone, and to long for love again.
One of the longest-running episodic plays in the country, Ampalaya Monologues has long kept viewers captive with straight-through-the-heart feels delivered with bald-faced honesty and biting humor. Now in book form, Ampalaya Monologues will tug at the heartstrings of even more audiences who are bound to find comfort in their hidden wounds in the confessional pieces’ candid, unrestrained words.
From a lover’s lament on the struggle of defining the relationship to another’s pain upon knowing that he is about to end, from the plea of a perpetually single person to that of one who’s perpetually left behind, anyone who has ever loved and lived to tell the tale will find a familiar face in Ampalaya Monologues’ 27 relatable characters.
