"The Classical Monologue," in two volumes, one for men and one for women, is a fresh selection of the best speeches from the repertoire of the classical theatre, from the Greeks to the beginning of the twentieth century. These great dramatic monologues--from all periods and styles, all varied in tone and genre--make an indispensable actor's companion for auditioning, rehearsing and performing. Each monologue is accompanied by textual notes explaining any unusual vocabulary or syntax, and by commentary in which the editors offer interpretive points and practical advice in preparing the speech for performance. Both beginners and experienced actors will find "The Classical Monologue" a treasury of theatrical riches waiting to be released on stage.
Includes monologues from Orestes in "Libation Bearers (The Oresteia) to The" "Captain in Strindberg's The Dance of Death" to Gerald in Oscar Wilde's "A Woman of No Importance."
