City Theatre's Little Gem

Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: Somewhere in the middle of Elaine Murphy's Little Gem — now at City Theatre — I was startled to realize that, in a lifetime as a professional audience member, this was the first play I'd ever seen by an Irish woman. I'm not sure what, if anything, that means. But after several thousand evenings lost in innumerable theaters, it's a remarkable factoid.

This play interests me because I wonder if it is anything in relation to "For Colored Girls" which is a play (or choreo poem) that consists of straight monologues, no dialogue. Though I've read "For Colored Girls" I've never seen it done in theaters, so seeing this play would definitely be a new experience for me because I've never seen a play of just monologues done live. I wonder how this experience would be for me as a viewer and if afterwards I would want to see more productions like this...or less.
