Product Description
Book Description
This is the first authorized collection of monologues from Mr. Simon's plays and the most significant contribution to the drama genre in the past twenty-five years. As a scene-study book it is invaluable to actors at all levels. This definitive publication contains speeches for men and women from "Come Blow Your Horn" through "Jake's Women." Each play is comprehensively synopsized, and an in-depth exposition establishing setting and intent precedes each speech. With an introduction by Jack Lemmon.
From the Publisher
Neil Simon is not only America's foremost playwright, he is also the most produced playwright since Shakespeare. He holds the distinction of being the only playwright in history to have four plays running simultaneously on Broadway. Mr. Karshner is a published playwright. His plays enjoy widespread productions throughout the United States and Canada. His play "The Dream Crust" was selected by Burns Mantle as one American's best.

I have been involved in the theatre for years and have recently purchased many books containing monologues and scenes for teaching purposes. This is by far the best of all the purchases I have made. This book is wonderful!
