Ello, Im sitting LAMDA and they have given us a long list of authors pre-1980 which we need to pick a monologue from which lasts around 3mins+. Im having a hard time trying to find some half decent monologues for females which are 3-4mins or over around the ages of 20-30+ Has anyone seen any monologues from any of these authors i can check out which fall around these specs - im getting a headache looking through different plays but can only use net at the moment to access monologues at the moment. aphra behn anton chekhov william congreve euripides george farquhar carlo goldoni oliver goldsmith henrik ibsen federico garcia loca george bernard shaw richard brinsley sheridan sophocles john webster oscar wilde william wycherley jean anouilh bertolt brecht caryl churchill dario fo athol fugard david hare lilian hellman arthur miller peter nichols sean ocasey eugene oneill jb priestley terence rattigan neil simon tom stoppard Anyyyyyy suggestions would be most helpful. | ||

well i don't think you can go wrong with neil simon ... check his play/movie The Goodbye Girl, there should be something in that that would be good.

I have found a piece by Tennessee williams called The Night of the Iguana - i stumbled upon it by accident - Tennessee williams is an author i never wanted to do - i saw a streetcar named desire and i really didnt like it and it put me off a lot of his work but i saw a paragraph in a monologue book where the character hannah is talking about the "house for the dying" and everything clicked, everything she said, i knew about and at present my gran is at present not doing very well and her final line about her grandfather and how she can see the last hint of life in his eyes just seems so real to me. so thought i would use that experience to help me through it plus i feel a bit more confident in this piece. i attempted a piece from a Lady from the Sea by ibsen but i felt i couldnt do it justice, so quite happy i have found this other piece  However, have began buying Neil Simon's works as a back up - the LAMDA is pretty strict with the rules so at least i have a back up - i found a piece in "I Ought to be in Pictures" by Simon which is really funny but quite emotional too | ||
