A sequel collection of winning monologues in the style and format
of 101 Monologues for Middle School Actors by the same author.
Rebecca Young knows how middle schoolers think and act and what
they like to talk about These monologues, duologues, and triologues
may be used for auditions, class assignments, or discussion
starters. With such a wide variety of topics, there is a monologue
to fit any student's personality or preference. These characters
speak as teenagers live. Easy to stage.
This collection brings together three international and
contemporary plays that each denounce violence against women,
alongside interviews with the creators and practitioners who
brought them to life. With interviews with writers, directors and
producers, who discuss the conception and staging of their plays,
their hope is to de-glamourize the staging of violence, to give
voice to the survivors of gendered violence, and to create
awareness and empathy within the audiences. Little Stitches
(London, 2014): four short pieces by Isley Lynn, Raul Quiros Molina
, Bahar Brunton and Karis E. Halsall on the issue of Female Genital
Mutilation as seen from the point of view of by-standers, health
professionals, women who support the practice and, finally,
survivors. 'Kubra' (Sydney, 2016) by Dacia Maraini, features a
young female protagonist who was subjected to FGM/C as a child, and
now brings her case to court. Rape Trial (Rome, 2018), adapted for
theatre by Renato Chiocca from the international award-winning
documentary of the same title made for Italian state television in
1979, shows how attitudes toward sexual violence, and judicial
procedures, tend to turn rape survivors from accusers into accused,
in court and in everyday discourse.
A collection of the world's best monologues for women actors
featuring well-known playwrights and emerging new writers.
Mystery / Casting: 5m, 7f / Scenery: InteriorThe announcement in
the local paper states time and place of a murder to occur in Miss
Blacklock's Victorian house. The victim is not one of several
occupants, temporary and permanent, but an unexpected and unknown
visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed
motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined
Inspector grimly following the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on
hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a
dramatic confrontation scene just before the final curtain. "Had
the first night audience on the edge of their seats." Evening Post.
"Re enter Agatha with another whodunit hit, another of her
fiendishly ingenious murder mysteries." London Evening News.

Vir die eerste keer ooit word al die dramas, hoorspele en die libretto van N.P. Van Wyk Louw in ’n versamelbundel uitgegee, met ’n voorwoord deur prof. Chris van der Merwe.
Van der Merwe sê: “Met die herlees van die dramas, hoorspele, koorspel en libretto van N. P. van Wyk Louw het dit my opgeval hoe dikwels hulle ʼn gesprek met mekaar voer. Soortgelyke temas word herhaaldelik uitgebeeld; die tekste sluit by mekaar aan, komplementeer mekaar, spreek mekaar soms teen. Dikwels kom die temas wat Louw in sy essays bespreek het of in sy poësie tot uiting gebring het, ook in die karakterisering en die intriges van die dramas na vore. Dit is opmerklik dat die denke van Louw nooit stagneer nie; steeds is daar tekens van ʼn voortgaande worsteling en vernuwing. Die indiwiduele dramas, in die groter konteks van sy oeuvre gelees, laat ʼn fassinerende skrywerspersoonlikheid na vore kom."
