Pras Monologue from The Little Stone House

From The Little Stone House by George Calderon

male · anguished · 1:05 min

Who has been eating here? Who has been drinking here? Something has happened! Tell me what it is. (Ast: Your son is not dead.) Not dead? Why do you say it so sadly? No, it is not true. I do not believe it. How can I be joyful at the news if you tell it so sadly? If he is alive, where is he? Let me see him. (Ast: He is here.) No, no! Tell me that that is not him... my son whom I have loved all these years, my son that lies in the churchyard. (To Sasha.) Don't be cruel to me. Say that you are not my son; you cannot be my son.
