The Monk
Authorship not stated
Madrid fills the Capuchin church an hour early to hear a monk who has barely left its walls since childhood. You play Lorenzo, standing by a pillar beside a friend who came to study the crowd rather than the sermon. You give up your place to a provincial aunt and her veiled niece, Antonia, and spend the wait earning the right to ask one question. Then Ambrosio climbs the pulpit, says temptation borrows a trusted face, and looks twice at your pillar.
