Lists of Plays and playwrights
Tue, 30 May 2006, 09:04 amI don't know where to put this so I'll start here. I recently found this website when playing around with Google (as you do).
"Do you remember seeing a play and not know who wrote it. Want to do other plays by the same playwright as one you've just done. Want to know who holds the rights for a tatty old script you've found without publisher details."
Try www.doollee.com
This is an attempt to compile an exhaustive list of every play and playwright published or unpublished in English since 1956. There are thousands of plays on this site. It's well worth a visit.
monologues
Thu, 1 June 2006, 05:41 pmHi Tari
You are quite right about your monologue. It must come from a published script. You must have the ISBN and date of publication and other information so if you are getting it from a monologue book make sure please that you keep that information.
Please don't do what a lot of students have done recently and find a monologue on an internet site. Some of these monologues have not been published and therefore they do not qualify.
Also , just remember Tari, that the monologue is done with your one person show, so whatever character you are doing for your one person show, its a good idea to try and show some type of contrast with the monologue.That way the examiners get to see what else you are capable of doing.If your one person show is a comedy, do a serious monologue. The examiners have said several times that they do not like students trying to do characters from monologues that they know nothing about. If you are choosing a monologue from a book, if at all possible read the whole play and try and work out the context etc. It may help you also when being interviewed by the panel.
just some thoughts!
