Monologues are an essential part of every actorrsquo;s toolkit. Actors are required to perform monologues regularly throughout their career: preparing for drama school entry; showcasing skills for agents or auditioning for a role. Following on from the bestselling first volume (2008); this book showcases selected monologues from some of the finest modern plays by some of todayrsquo;s leading contemporary playwrights. These monologues contain a diverse range of quirky and memorable characters that cross cultural and historical boundaries. The pieces are helpfully organised into age-specific groups: lsquo;Teensrsquo;; lsquo;Twentiesrsquo;; lsquo;Thirtiesrsquo; and lsquo;Forties plusrsquo;.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Thought-provoking and very accessible!By D. EberhartHats off to Mark Childs; for his latest book; Urban Composition: Developing Community through Design! Dont be fooled by the title. The book undoubtedly is assigned reading for architecture students; but it is very accessible for general readers; with more than 120 photos and illustrations depicting a wide variety of ways that urban design affects its surroundings and vice versa. One of the authors points is that urban design must work for a variety of audiences; as does his book. He frames his arguments (including one point about "framing and reframing built-form contexts") in terms of thought-provoking questions; which he then proceeds to answer. Each chapter includes marvelous and intriguing tips for the designer. Professor Childs understands and clearly relates how to bring urban buildings and places to life. If more urban places were designed following his principles; our cities would be more vibrant; enriching and sustainable.
