Synopsis

"Speak the speech, I pray you," counseled Hamlet, "as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue." The Prince of Denmark's timeless advice can be readily applied to the contents of this volume, which features several monologues from Hamlet's own tragic drama, as well as dozens of soliloquies from Shakespeare's other immortal works.
Encompassing some of the finest monologues ever uttered by actors on the stage, this book is an invaluable source of audition or recital material for acting students as well as seasoned professionals. Students of Shakespeare and English literature will also find it a wonderful companion. Ranging from the playful whimsy of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and Much Ado About Nothing to the powerful reflections of Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, and Richard III, this superlative collection offers moving speeches for both men and women from one of the world's finest monologuists.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

"He was not of an age, but for all time," declared Ben Jonson of his contemporary William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Jonson's praise is especially prescient, since at the turn of the 17th century Shakespeare was but one of many popular London playwrights and none of his dramas were printed in his lifetime. The reason so many of his works survive is because two of his actor friends, with the assistance of Jonson, assembled and published the First Folio edition of 1623.
