... Things can never just be easy, can they?Six monologues. One hour.Love, heartbreak, and lust are - arguably - some of the most relatable yet alienating feelings a person can experience. These emotions are riddled with contradiction: pushing us to our limits, unearthing our deepest insecurities, and often leaving us unsure of who we are.In this bold and captivating collection, the characters of Dont Call Me Blondie grapple with the messy, complicated truths of relationships, self-worth, and desire. From toxic love to the emotional fallout of infidelity, these six standalone monologues deliver raw, unfiltered insight into the quiet chaos of modern intimacy.Dont Call Me Blondie is the debut play by Belle-Ann Daly-Morgan, a playwright and director currently studying Writing for Performance at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama (2027 cohort). A graduate of Elstree Screen Arts Academy, Daly-Morgans work is known for its brutal honesty and thoroughly human core. This also marks the launch of Daly-Morgan's theatre company, 'Echoism Productions'. As artistic director, she is committed to giving young, under-represented creatives a platform. Told with biting wit and emotional precision, Dont Call Me Blondie offers an intimate snapshot of six people caught in emotionally charged moments - funny, flawed, and fiercely honest.Join us for an hour of confessions, connections, and contradictions.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
