Summary: This book features forty monologues from plays published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama recently. The monologues are selected by the editor, Geoffrey Colman, on account of their relevance to drama school students and recent graduates entering the profession. Each monologue is preceded by an introductory paragraph, written by the editor, outlining the setting, character type, and point in the plot. Suggestions are offered for staging, character interpretation, points of significance in the text, and how to draw from decisions made in professional productions. This collection captures the best contemporary monologues for women, as well as celebrates the monologue as a piece for performance with accompanying commentary engaging with real dramatic challenges and issues that the performer will confront.
