Are you tired of hunting for quality monologues for exams, competitions, or auditions? Are you bored of playing the same old characters? Look no further than this book. A dynamic collection of original, stand-alone monologues written by artistic director, young actors’ agent, and arts educationalist Pamela Cassells-Totton. Pamela’s wealth of experience in performing arts education led her to write this diverse repertoire of monologues in order to offer her students material which would challenge and inspire them as well as showcase their skills as young artists. The characters within this collection are multidimensional and diverse; some of the monologues have been handpicked from acclaimed, verbatim plays devised for theatre in education projects; others are stand-alone and tried and tested pieces which young actors have enjoyed playing for decades.

Beautiful... Like a Rainbow. They say that in order to gain everything, you must first lose everything... So, what do you do when your love life can’t get off the ground, your career is non-existent and you just can’t seem to enjoy your life? You pack up and move to a new state. I’m Crimson Clover and I’m on my way to the career, the boyfriend, the life; nothing short of my place in the beautiful sun. But even with a new beginning, the pieces of the old end still remain to shake up the already tumultuous middle ground. The voices that say I’m not good enough won’t shut up, nothing is going the way it should and I’m more of my worst enemy than best friend. With my life crumbling around me, it’s time to clean house and the lovely Ladies of Recherché are here to help me pick up the pieces and put the puzzle back together. Welcome to my fantasy...

Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues. Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, “When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?” Or, if you have surgery, “What’s it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?” With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to “regular” men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what’s worked for him—and what’s proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.
