'The westie monologues' is the title of a play written by Melanie Bownds in 2001; it has been released for public reading, however, as having being written by melanie bownds' stage name/persona: rebel wilson; it is a comic play which has all female characters, aged mainly between 17-25, depicting short monologues about themselves and their lives; these monologues are loosely connected, and contain some musical elements; nearly all the characters are referred to as 'westie's' which is a common slang term for people living in Sydney's western suburbs; the humour is derived by capitalising on the sterotypes related to being a 'westie'; this play was written primarily as a stage play, but with the aim of developing the script and concept further to include it in any of the television, film, radio, print, stand-up comedy, and any other performance genres, where the writer deems appropriate
