Methuen Audition Book for Men

A collection of fifty audition speeches for men selected from the finest plays of the last twenty years. There are pieces from mainstream contemporary classics such as Jim Cartwright's Road, Caryl Churchill's Serious Money, David Edgar's Maydays, and John Godber's Happy Families, as well as keynote plays like Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane, John Retallack and Melvyn Burgess's Junk, Ron Hutchinson's Rat in the Skull, Nigel Williams' Class Enemy, and many more. They cover a wide range of mood and character, from comedy to tragedy, from youth to old age. Each piece is accompanied by a synopsis setting the extract firmly in its context. This volume is introduced by the editor with a note of advice drawn from interviews with experienced directors.Bluhm, Annika is the author of 'Methuen Audition Book for Men' with ISBN 9780413623003 and ISBN 0413623009.
