Alternative Shakespeare Auditions for Women

by Simon Dunmore (Editor)

Overview

Like the companion volume for men, Alternative ShakespeareAuditions for Women brings together fifty speeches from plays frequently ignored such as Coriolanus, Pericles, and Love's Labours Lost. It also features good, but over-looked speeches from more popular plays such as Diana from All's Well That Ends Well, Perdita from TheWinter's Tale and Hero from Much Ado AboutNothing.

Each speech is accompanied by a character description, brief explanation of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases and references--all written from the viewpoint of the auditioning actor. It is the perfect resource for your best audition ever.
