Outstanding Stage Monologs and Scenes from the '90s
Here is an exciting new collection of 40 monologs and scenes from some of the most important contemporary plays and playwrights of the 1990s. These selections reflect actors' and student actors' desires for new and fresh work-pieces that are up-to-date and exciting to perform. Chosen from only professionally produced plays, the book reflects current trends where small theatre groups proliferate, women and minorities have a growing influence and drama has become a truly international art form. The text includes monologs for both male and female actors, duet scenes for two male or two female actors and scenes for combinations of male and female actors. It also includes four complete ten-minute plays. Because actors need to be able to use proven examples of good dramatic material to practice their craft, the 35 playwrights represented here include Edward Albee, Harold Pinter, Thornton Wilder, Tom Stoppard, Mario Fratti, A.J. Gurney, Brian Friel, Marsha Norman and Israel Horovitz.

This book has everything you need to perform. Monologs (good ones, which are very hard to come by), duets, group scenes, EVERYTHING! All of them are either award winning plays or excerpts from them. Each different performance has an intro to it that gives information like: what the stage sould look like, what awards the play one, what other plays the playwright wrote and where the play was performed. The only problem is that the monologs are too short for the contests I enter. Does anyone know of any books that have 5 to 7 minute monologs? Thanks!
