Monologues are an essential part of every actor's toolkit. Actors are required to perform monologues regularly throughout their career: preparing for drama school entry, showcasing skills for agents or auditioning for a role. Following on from the bestselling first volume (2008), this book showcases selected monologues from some of the finest modern plays by some of today's leading contemporary playwrights. These monologues contain a diverse range of quirky and memorable characters that cross cultural and historical boundaries. The pieces are helpfully organized into age-specific groups: 'Teens', 'Twenties', 'Thirties' and 'Forties plus'.
This book and its companion volume are must-have collections of monologues by leading contemporary playwrights, featuring a diverse range of quirky and memorable characters that cross cultural and historical boundaries. Includes work by Richard Bean, Tim Crouch, Will Eno, John Logan, Dennis Kelly, Meredith Oakes, and Laura Wade.
