This book brings together another fifty speeches for men from plays frequently ignored such as "Cymbeline, King John" and "Henry VIII." It also includes good but overlooked roles from the more popular plays such as Kent in "King Lear," Tranio in "Taming of the Shrew" and Ferdinand in "The Tempest." Each speech is accompanied by a helpful character description, brief explanation of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases, and references--all written from the viewpoint of the auditioning actor. Also included is a comprehensive guide to selecting, preparing and performing audition speeches, and background material on Shakespeare and the times he lived in.
