Product Description

Product Description
Auditioners often complain of seeing the same speeches over and over again. This book brings together 50 speeches for men from Shakespeare plays frequently ignored such as Titus Andronicus", "Pericles" and "Love's Labours Lost". It also includes good, but over-looked speeches from the more popular plays such as Octavius Caesar from "Antony and Cleopatra", Leontes from "The Winter's Tale" and Buckingham from "Richard III". Each speech is accompanied by a character description, brief explanation of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases and references - all written from the viewpoint of the auditioning actor."

4.0 out of 5 stars A potentially very useful book., 24 Mar 2004
By Robbie Swale - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
In the interval of a recent epic production at the National Theatre I felt inspired by the acting world in general. It had been an ambition of mine a few years ago to try to go to drama school when I finished my A levels. For one reason or another, I decided against that, but in my moment of inspiration, I picked this book up, skipped through, and then bought it.

It does exactly what it says on the front (and back). It gives a selection of slightly more unusual Shakespeare monologues which have the depth and interest to be good audition pieces. It provides character descriptions, advice and notes to help with each speech. There is also a section at the front which gives more in depth and general audition advice from one who knows the process well.

I honestly think this would be a useful book to purchase if you need to perform a Shakespeare monologue for one reason or another. I don't know whether I'll ever use it for it's purpose, but it did inspire me to get Love's Labour's Lost out of the library, so it has at least contributed to my cultural-education!
