Hi all,

I am auditioning for AADA summer program and need to perform two monologues. Do you have any suggestions for a dramatic monologue from a "period play"? I'm a female in my late 20's.

Thanks so much for your help!I've been researching plays for a couple of months now, but I have a hard time identifying what is "comedic".

I suggest you have a look through Arthur Pinero and George Bernard Shaw's work.

Try something from Moliere (sp?).
