Item Description...
A collection of forty-three selections from some of the most important contemporary plays and playwrights of the 1990s. These selections reflect actors' and student actors' desires for new and fresh scenes and monologs, pieces that are up-to-date and exciting to perform. The book reflects current trends where small theatre groups proliferate, women and minorities have a growing influence, and drama has become a truly international art form. Includes monologs for male and female actors, duet scenes for two male and two female actors, and scenes for combinations of male and female actors. Also includes four complete ten-minute plays. Thirty-five playwrights are represented including Albee, Fratti, Kushner, Horowitz, Wilder, Norman, Dresser, Gurney, Rivera, Cruz, Friel and more. Many selections contain strong language and adult situations which might be objectionable to some. Sample scenes and monologs include: A Cheever Evening by A.R. Gurney, Flux by Susan Miller, Telling Tales by Migdalia Cruz, Barking Sharks by Israel Horowitz, Angels in America and Slavs by Tony Kushner, Event Horizon by Christopher Kyle, Porno By Mario Fratti, Fragments by Edward Albee and Tape by Jose Rivera. |

| First of all, I can't see how this book can come off saying it's for students. A big hunk of the monologues are NOT age appropriate. They're for older women, looking back on their lives. It is important to know your range - and I'm sorry, but college students just aren't in their 60s for the most part! We don't have the life experience to give honesty to these roles. Also, a huge chunk of the monologues for women are story telling, another thing you should try to avoid in monologues. I do NOT recommend this book to any college women who are looking for something to use at auditions. | | |  | Awesome Feb 14, 2003 |
| This book has everything you need to perform. Monologs (good ones, which are very hard to come by), duets, group scenes, EVERYTHING! All of them are either award winning plays or excerpts from them. Each different performance has an intro to it that gives information like: what the stage sould look like, what awards the play one, what other plays the playwright wrote and where the play was performed. The only problem is that the monologs are too short for the contests I enter. Does anyone know of any books that have 5 to 7 minute monologs?
