THE GOOD AUDITION GUIDES:
Helping you select and perform the piece of audition that best matches your performance.
In this volume of Good Audition Guides, you will find fifty fantastic speeches for women, written after 2000, by some of the most exciting voices in drama.
The playwrights included in the Contemporary Monologues for Women are Mike Bartlett, Alexi Kaye Campbell, Caryl Churchill, Helen Edmundson, debbie tucker green, Ella Hickson, Lucy Kirkwood, Rona Munro, Joanna Murray-Smith, and Enda Walsh. The works have premiered at some of the best theatres in the UK, including the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and many more.
Drawing from her experience as an actress, director, and teacher at many leading drama schools, Trilby James introduces each speech with a detailed introduction, providing the necessary information to understand the piece (who, what, when, where, and why) as well as suggestions for interpreting the scene in the best possible way.
Contemporary Monologues for Women also includes an introduction on the process of selecting and preparing your speech, as well as approaching the audition. The result is the most comprehensive and useful book of contemporary monologues available today.
