Auditioners often complain of seeing the same speeches over and over again. This book brings together 50 speeches for women from Shakespeare plays frequently ignored such as Coriolanus , Pericles and Love's Labours Lost . It also includes good, but over-looked speeches from the more popular plays such as Diana from All's Well That Ends Well , Perdita from The Winter's Tale and Hero from Much Ado About Nothing . Each speech is accompanied by a character description, brief explanation of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases and references - all written from the viewpoint of the auditioning actor.
