Alright. I just bought the Faber and Faber publication of LaBute's play reasons to be pretty. However, it appears that this is the off-Broadway version, in which each character has his or her own monologue delivered straight to the audience. Critics and audience members complained, and the monologues were eliminated from the show during the Broadway transfer.

My question is, what were the monologues changed to? Were they intregrated into the dialogue in some form or fashion, and if so how? Or were they simply cut from the play, and the other scenes were left untouched? I'm very curious to find out.

Sorry, I haven't read the published edition and did not see it Off-Broadway...but there were no monologues at all in the Broadway production, which you already seem to know...sorry I can't be more help.

Yeah, I knew the monologues were cut out of the play. I was just wondering why people are saying that the "monologue material" are edited into the script. Does anyone know how that works?
