One week until monologues are due. I have just gone through three anthologies and have come up with only ONE possibility, which I am not fond of.
I need a male monologue for a character that's in his teens-30s. Nothing more.
Requirements:
- Male character.
- Character must be in teens-30's (Or text cannot make it sound like character is older).
- One minute.
- Does not have to be a GOOD climatic monologue. It can even be boring as hell. It's just gotta be a minute and at least 10% interesting.
- Cannot be storytelling or reporting.
- No Shakespeare. Something contemporary. Setting must be American/English and dialect as well.
HELP! Specific monologues? Certain plays to look through?
THANKS!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 9/6/05 at 12:58pmhave you looked at anything from assassins? sam byck's monologues are my favorite. I don't know what you've looked at, so it's hard to suggest things...but have you looked at any anthologies of one-acts? i wish i had mine up at school with me this semester, so i can't point you in any specific direction, but it might be a start.
