Hey Mr. Decker. I'm on a monologue manhunt and looking for Shakespeare's contemporaries to find a good classical monologue. Any suggestions?? Thanks,
~Lizi
What's your timeline? Can it wait till school starts and I can get at my monologue books (as can Ms. Nieland, I assume)? Rather than plowing through 400 year old texts to find a good female monologue, check out monologue compilations from the public library, including ordering them for you. I'd also suggest you ask for help from the Commonweal Summer Conservatory, asking their advice (and staying in touch!).
What was meant by "Shakespeare's contemporaries"? If it's by time, that sticks us in Elizabethan, roughly 1550 - 1600 (although Shakespeare kept going another decade). But if it means similarly recognized greats not from the modern era, we can move into Jacobean, Restoration, and Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century works.
Well, sticking kinda close to timeline, Rosaura's from LIFE IS A DREAM by Pedro Calderon de la Barca is 1635
Elvira's from LE CID by Pierre Corneille is 1636
Celimene from Moliere's THE MISANTHROPE is 1666.
If we can move forward to Oscar Wilde 1895, Mabel Chiltern from AN IDEAL HUSBAND is fun.
Keep in touch, we'll find one. Who is the final audience?
Thanks for all the help!! The monologue is just for general auditions (including college, as I've started looking into their theatre programs). Most colleges ask for a classical and modern piece. When I asked Lisa Weaver about classical, she said think Elizabethan time, roughly the same time as Shakespeare.
I've already found a few good serious monologues from my new favorite playwright, Edward Albee. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to check them out!!

Lizi--If you'd want a comic one by a classic playwright, check out Moliere's "The Miser." There should be a few ones you could toy around with in that play..

I have you for speech :)
Can't remember for sure, but I think 2nd semester.
Hope your summer's going well, see you soon!

P.S. my account won't let me log in anymore, so I guess I'll have to do it this way.
