How many Black British plays can you name?
Inspired by both classical and contemporary plays, "The Oberon Book
of Monologues for Black Actors" gives readers an insight into some
of the best cutting-edge plays written by black British
playwrights, over the last sixty years. This collection features
over twenty speeches by Britain's most prominent black dramatists.
The monologues represent a wide-range of themes, characters,
dialects and styles. Suitable for young people and adults, each
selection includes production information, a synopsis of the play,
a biography of the playwright and a scene summary. The aim of this
collection is that actors will enjoy working on these speeches,
using them to help strengthen their craft, and by doing so, help to
ensure these plays are always remembered.
These monologues for men are taken from speeches by Britain's
most prominent black dramatists, including Barry Reckord, Lydia
Adetunji, Roy Williams, Courttia Newland, Errol John, Ade Solanke,
Trevor Rhone, Inua Ellams, Biyi Bandele, and Arinze Kene. Includes
a foreword by playwright and director Kwame Kwei-Armah.
