Product Details


Product Description

From School Library Journal

YA A lifesaving resource for theater teachers and acting students, this book provides a refreshing supply of contemporary monologues for men and women from well-known and more obscure scripts. Readers will find comic, serious, and seriocomic monlogues. An index lists them by the age group of the characters. As a book for leisure, readers will find that the wide assortment of characters demonstrates a full range from the delightful to the dramatic. Informative conversations with a few playwrights, including Christopher Durang, provide greater insight into contemporary drama. High-school drama classes will appreciate this fresh material and its authoritative presentation. Joseph Harper, Episcopal High School, Bellaire

3.0 out of 5 stars if you're using this for a speech team..., Jan 6 2002
By 
This review is from: The Actor's Book of Contemporary Stage Monologues: More Than 150 Monologues from More Than 70 Playwrights (Paperback)
The reason why I bought this book was to get a speech from it. I was in Dramatic Interpretation. Nearly all of the monologues were too short for the 8 minute time limit. I like to have my speech over 5 minutes. I did get a speech out of here, The Art of Dining by Tina Howe. But I had to combine 2 monologues. This was last year. For this season, nothing is satisfactory. I am going to buy a new book. This book is good for entertainment. I friend of mine bought the book after she heard my speech. It would be a good book for a short audition speech or a drama class. But for the purpose that I purchased it for, it failed.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Actor's Book of Contemporary Stage Monologues: More Than 150 Monologues from More Than 70 Playwrights (Paperback)
This book is fabulous for people needing audition pieces...these monologues are not overdone, and they all come from recent plays. If you need edgy, witty, or just some awesome pieces, get this book and enjoy!
