"A monologue book of staggering consequence… Move over Arthur Miller, Shakespeare, and Strindberg, and make room for Alice Childress, Aphra Behn, Ntozake Shange."
- John Douglas Thompson, Tony Award-nominated actor, winner of 2 Drama Desk Awards, 3 Obie Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, and a Lortel Award
This volume gathers 110 standout monologues by great playwrights that are classic, but less familiar. They span 350 years, 15 countries, and 8 languages of origin — works by 34 historic women and gender-expansive playwrights that are powerful, but under-represented. That gives actors the chance to stand out when performing them. From Aphra Behn to Alice Childress, George Sand to Catherine the Great, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz to Zora Neale Hurston, these works are dynamic, well-crafted, and worthy of being performed time and time again.
