Synopsis:

Sheila Hancock, Rhys Ifans and Bob Hoskins star in three very different takes on, and insights into, life and death - each one poignant and compelling, tinged with sadness and humour. A dying woman (Sheila Hancock) waits to receive drugs to take her own life. A farmer (Rhys Ifans) tries to find a way to free himself from the yoke of a dominating mother. An assassin (Bob Hoskins) waits in a public lavatory for his next target. These three people don't know each other, but they have one thing in common: they are all about to kill or be killed...

Based on three short stories written by celebrated writer Hugo Blick, THE LAST WORD MONOLOGUES features an all-star class that includes Rhys Ifans, Bob Hoskins and Shelia Hancock: In 'Before I Call You In' a woman (Hancock) reflects on her life as he faces a certain death; in 'Six Days One June', a man (Ifans) recants the story of his domineering mother and how he managed to escape her; and in 'A Bit Of Private Business' Hoskins stars as a hitman preparing his next job.

Three contemplative monologues about killing: 1, A dying woman waits for the pills that will end her life; 2, A farmer tries to find a way to escape his domineering mother; 3, An assassin awaits in a public toilet for his next target.
