Welcome to Spread the Love. And this week we're looking at The Waking Moment by Bradley
Hayward. The Waking Moment is a tough play, that doesn't often get done but we're very
proud to carry. The play is about two friends - Rhonda and Julie. Julie is very woe is
me about her life, her absent father, her nosy mother. Julie thinks Rhonda has the best
life, the best family, the best of everything. Julie wishes she could have Rhonda's life
and through a theatrical 'what if' she wakes up the next morning as Rhonda. But be careful
what you wish for. Rhonda's life isn't the best of anything. It's a true nightmare. Craig
what do you love about The Waking Moment?
Well, Bradley sent us two plays at the same time - The Waking Moment and Apostrophe's.
And these plays couldn't be any more thematically different and they really show Bradley's depth
as a writer. The Waking Moment is one of the toughest, most difficult issue plays that
we have. The world of the play is not pretty, but for too many girls, it's real. I highly
recommend this script if you're looking for an extraordinary challenge for a small cast.
This is a play that can change lives.
That's it for Spread the Love.
