Abstract:
"Here you will find a rich and varied selection of monologues for women from plays most of which were produced and/or published in the 2016-2017 theatrical season. Many are for younger performers (teens through thirties) but there are also some excellent pieces for older women as well. Some are comic (laughs), some are dramatic (generally, no laughs). Some are rather short, some are rather long. All represent the best in contemporary playwriting"--Page 11.
