About this title

From the Back Cover:

This collection of fifty classical speeches, many presented as audition pieces for the first time, will be invaluable both to students applying for entrance to drama school and to actors auditioning for classical roles. The speeches are selected from plays of several periods: Elizabethan-Jacobean, Restoration, eighteenth century, and late nineteenth century to early twentieth century. There are speeches from Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, Jonson's Volpone, Marlowe's Dr Faustus, Congreve's The Way of the World, Sheridan's The Rivals and Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. The speeches are reproduced from plays in the respected New Mermaid series which have comprehensive introductions and detailed notes, invaluable for the well-prepared audition piece.

About the Author:

JEAN MARLOW has done a superb job of pulling together unusual monologues from plays well known and unfamiliar, modern and classical, from around the world, for many ethnic groups. Marlow has also included an introductory essay on how to prepare for and give your best performance at an audition. In addition, directors and casting directors give their advice on how to audition successfully.
