Classical Monologues by Leon Katz,
By Kathleen Dimmick (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classical Monologues: Volume 2, Older Men (Paperback)
Leon Katz's volumes of classical monologues provide an excellent resouce tool for actors and educators. Some well-known, some deliciously obscure, these rich monolgues can expand and deepen an actor's repetoire of audition and class material. In addition, Mr. Katz's introductory notes to each monologue provide a wonderfully astute historical and theatrical context for each selection. A superb addition to the theatre practitioner's library.
