’Out of the Blue’ is a dramatic monologue spoken by one of the people inside the twin towers on 9/11‚ from inside the burning building. The effect is of extreme close up on a tiny point in space in time‚ almost in a 1to1 narrative time. The event is narrated as it happens an appeal to a second person who could not be listening. This creates an weird effect‚ of an event we cannot touch‚ of lost people who could not speak to us‚ even though we watched at the time or later: the flames‚ the people who

Iago plays all the characters in the play like puppets. He
