Dunmore brings together fifty speeches for men from plays frequently ignored such as Titus Andronicus, Pericles, and Love's Labours Lost. It also includes good, but over-looked speeches from the more popular plays such as Octavius Caesar from Antony and Cleopatra, Leontes from The Winter's Tale and Buckingham from Richard III. With character descriptions, brief explanations of the context, and notes on obscure words, phrases and references, it is the perfect source for a unique audition.

"The monologue is like the tip of one of those seasonal icebergs that float so majestically down the Newfoundland coastline. They catch one's breath, but underneath lies the other nine-tenths of the beast, an ice-blue bedrock, glowing as if with an inner light."--from the introduction by David Ferry An anthology of modern Canadian monologues for the male voice, for use in classes and auditions, or for general interest.
