New Monologues for Women

New Monologues for Women features up to 30 monologues from plays published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama within the past year. 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 either by the editor or a selected actor/director/playwright, outlining the setting, character type, and point in the plot. The monologue itself is annotated by the editor with staging advice, ideas to think about, highlighted points of significance, and information drawn from the professional production/s. There is a margin down the side of each page for the actor to scribble notes and their own annotation. This annual collection is the go-to resource for the auditioning actor with an insatiable appetite for new, original and excellent material.
