Overview
New Monologues for Women 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 is the go-to resource for the auditioning
actor with an insatiable appetite for new, original and excellent
material.
