60 Seconds To Shine - Volume ONE - 221 One-Minute Monologues For Men
~ John Capecci & Irene Ziegler (eds)

Actors looking for short pieces to work on in class or to use for auditions need look no further

This volume of 221 one minute monologues is loaded with choices from contemporary and classic plays, novels, and stories

Shakespeare, Molière, and Chekhov are represented, along with contemporary writers such as Philip Roth and Steve Tesich

Many of the monologues in this book are from less well-known authors, making it the perfect choice for actors looking for something fresh—something auditioners have never seen before

For those auditions or class assignments where brevity is crucial, you need a monologue that gets to the point. You need a defined character, strong emotional content, and a resonant ending

Just as important, you need a lot of monologues from which to choose

This book offers you that, and more drawn from plays, novels, short stories, poems, original monologues, essays, comics, novellas, radio plays, film scripts, and personal narratives

At the back of this volume, you’ll find all 221 monologues indexed according to age, tone, and voice, to help identify those most suited to your needs
