Always drawing together the work of 10 leading playwrights - a
mixture of established and current writers - the annual National
Theatre Connections anthologies offer young performers between the
ages of 13 and 19 an engaging selection of plays to perform, read
or study. Each play is specifically commissioned by the National
Theatre's literary department and reflects the past year's
programming at the venue in the plays' ideas, themes and styles.
The plays are performed by approximately 200 schools and youth
theatre companies across the UK and Ireland, in partnership with
multiple professional regional theatres where the works are
showcased. For the first time, there is an anthology of monologues
for young people available, taken from plays commissioned as part
of the National Theatre Connections over the past 20 years. The
monologues feature alongside a general introduction by the editor,
Anthony Banks (Associate Director for the National Theatre Discover
Programme).The volume also contains individual studies of each
monologue with the editor's suggested points for discussion, a
brief commentary about the play from which the speech is taken, as
well as flagging potential performance decisions and offering up
dramaturgical suggestions. Each page features one monologue, plus
the individual commentary and some background to the play. This
anthology of monologues is the ideal resource for teenagers and
young people attending auditions either in the amateur or
professional theatre world; students leaving secondary school to
audition for drama school; as well as teachers of English and Drama
looking for suitable dramatic for their students to engage with and
perform. It provides suitable scene-study books that are suitable
and relevant to the student in terms of tone, style and content.
Young actors who have searched for audition material written in the
voice of teenage characters will welcome this resource. With a
foreword by actor Matt Smith.
