This edition contains an authoritative introduction by Rattigan scholar Dan Rebellato. A three-handkerchief weepie that somehow manages to be both profoundly moving and wonderfully funny Telegraph Devastating and uplifting Evening Standard Tender; funny and overwhelmingly moving The Arts Desk

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. They may be original; but they are not necessarily practical for all....By darcisueThe majority of these are monologues that are designed to use accents; which would be for very specific auditions. (Scottish; British/UK; Chinese; etc). There are also a wide variety of specific ages (many for teenage through early 20s). The book does give you context from the original work; but unless you are looking for a very specific piece; so if that is what you are looking for; this could be your book. For me; it is not ideal. Wishing I had spent my $ on a book with material that would work for more general auditions.This may have just the gem you want if you are seeking a specific original; cultural (and likely European) piece.
