5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent addition to your bookshelf..., March 15, 2000

By	Dawn Kidle "dawn_dramaqueen" (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first 15 pages are devoted to creating the character and I found them very insightful. A nice, wide variety of monologues & scenes and I really liked the addition of several Shakespearean monologues at the end of each section. It's a plus that there Shakespeare monologues that are not often used. Some of the monologues/scenes in the book are from: An Ideal Husband, The Three Sisters, Master Class, I Hate Hamlet, Conversations with my Father, The Miss Firecracker Contest, Steambath, and much more...I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wide range of material for all capabilities, September 12, 1999

By A Customer

I found that this book was really useful because there is such a wide range of material, however, I did find that when I found a good monalogue and wanted to read the whole play it was not available anywhere on the net that I looked. This was bit annoying because it is impossible to successfully create a character from just a monalogue and is even difficult with the whole play. As I mentioned before there is a very wide range of plays, from Shakespeare to the author himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked the Wide Selection!, May 10, 2000

By	R. Kathleen Robel (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has a great many scenes and monologues, and nearly anyone can find one that works for them. While some of the plays that are excerpted are a bit obscure, I found this to be only a minor setback, thanks to the magic of online book purchasing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Probably not for "Student Actors"
Some of the monologues are a bit more adult. If you are buying this for student actors, pick and choose wisely.
