The God Tempered Hero Martin Keech

"The God Tempered Hero" is a dramatic monologue suitable for presentation at High School Speech Competitions. This monologue tells the story of an introverted, educated man who must make a statement to the media describing how he came to perform an heroic act - rescuing a woman from a flooding river. The man is a metallurgist who has spent his life thinking about how atomic elements can be combined to make strong steel. Because he is not a trained speaker, he must draw an analogy from his knowledge to explain how he came to jump into a raging river to save a drowning woman. The result is a gripping, poignant speech. When you add your acting and speech skills to this monologue, you will have a dynamite performance that will have your audience listening to every word, learning something about metallurgy, and perhaps even getting a lump in their throats. High School students are winning competitions with this monologue. Buy it before this monologue becomes common knowledge.
