This item came fast, and was in better condition than I expected it to be. It was a great bargain.

A bit eccentric, but good nonetheless

I have read this book and plan on using some of the monologues in some upcoming auditions I have. I was, however, disappointed in the fact that there were more for men than for women, so more than half of the book was useless to me. Be wary, some of the audition pieces are a bit eccentric and need to be edited for language (depending on the show), but for the most part I was quite pleased with what I read, and I recommend it for new actors and actresses.

This is a very good book!!!

The book, 100 Monologues, is etremely helpful when I had to choose a contemporary scene for my high school. It included a very funny scene about a man who had just finished eating a 72-ounce steak and other items of food. It is simply hilarious. It contains some very good character work and a variety of different roles to play. In the end, I would recomend this book to anyone who needs to find a solo scene.

CAN'T GO WRONG HERE

An excellent sourcebook for actors searching for Monologues for auditions or performances. Sections for both male and female actors. Many of the monologues were written specifically for this book, so have not been widely performed. Background notes provided to set the scene and mood of the performance. A wide range of emotional content is also here. If you cannot find a good audition piece here, you probably won't find it!
