Library Journal Review

This latest entry in the publisher's popular monolog series contains choice selections from mostly major dramatic works for brief auditions. Written from the 15th through the late 20th century, these excerpts derive from some of the world's great dramatists, including Molière, Mercy Warren, Oscar Wilde, Eugene O'Neill, Christopher Durang, and Harold Pinter. The book is divided between women's and men's monologs, and each work is prefaced by a very brief contextual paragraph. Auditioning actors should find this a valuable resource. Recommended for theater arts collections in high school, academic, and public libraries.‘Howard E. Miller, St. Louis Science Ctr. (c) Copyright 2010.
