Offers audition pieces for actors at all levels. Drawing on her enormous experience in drama training, the author has selected over forty-five monologues for men and another forty-five for women drawn from classical plays throughout the ages and ranging across all of Western theatre. These classical monologues are presented chronologically.

Actors need actions. They cannot act adjectives, they need verbs; they need an aim to achieve, an action to perform. This is a thesaurus of active verbs with which the actor can refine the action-word until she or her hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive.
