ONE ON ONE: THE BEST MONOLOGUES FOR MATURE ACTORS
While contemporary culture may be fixated on youthful sex appeal, the most complex and interesting characters in dramatic literature have been (and still are) those over 40 years old. Whether it's Willy Loman inDeath of a Salesman, Gorgeous Teitelbaum in Wendy Wasserstein'sSisters Rosenzweig, or Troy the former big leaguer in August Wilson'sFences, these characters have a texture and a gravitas that can't be found in younger roles. This volume selects from classical sources like Euripides'Medea and Shakespeare'sKing Lear, as well as contemporary ones like Yasmina Reza'sGod of Carnage, Christopher Durang'sVonya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, and David Lindsay-Abaire'sGood People, to provide a challenging and enriching experience for both the dedicated professional and the inquisitive amateur.
