Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Modern Monologue in two volumes, one for men and one for women, is an exciting selection of speeches drawn from the landmark plays of the 20th century. The great playwrights of the British, American and European theatre-- and the plays most constantly performed on stage throughout the world--are represented in this unique collection.
Monologues of all types--both serious and comic, realistic and absurdist--provide a dynamic challenge for all actors: the student, the amateur and the professional.
A fuller appreciation of each speech is enhanced by the editors' introduction and commentaries that set the plays and individual speeches in their dramatic and performance contexts.
The Modern Monologue: Women contains 50 speeches from such plays as:
A View from the Bridge, Arthur Miller
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Tennessee Williams
Cloud Nine, Caryl Churchill
Happy Dayse, Samuel Beckett
Lovers, Brian Friel
The Modern Monologue is an invaluable resource for acting classes, competitions, rehearsals and auditions.

Rated by buyers -
This was a great book with a wide variety of monologues to choose from. The commentaries were extremely helpful when I had to perform one of the monologues in class and did not have time to read the play. The best part about having so many great piece to choose from is that I could always find the perfect monologue for class, auditions, etc. This book is worth buying...I have used it many times!
