Patricide is a one-minute monologue by a woman of any age, race, ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, or class background—who telephones her father and confronts him with her memory of his sexual abuse of her.

More than a novelty piece, this monologue provides actors with the opportunity to run an intense gauntlet of peak emotions in the space of sixty seconds: panic, terror, disorientation, relief, euphoria.
