Now, I am looking for modern monologues, which are taken from plays which were written recently, I read on-line that most British drama schools would like a contemporary monologue from a play written and published within the last 10-20 years.
This is quite a difficult choice as I am stuck on which play to pick from. I have seen a book in the library of monologues from contemporary plays, which I am going to begin reading, and I am also re-reading the play "Othello" which my Shakespearian monologue is from. The contemporary plays are usually written after 1960.
It is quite hard to find 21st century plays online, so I am going to get a book from the library on campus and study the different plays that interest me and pick out a couple of monologues from the book.
I know that Sussex UNI do not require an audition piece, and U.A.L might not require an audition, but Italia Conti and Kingston college definitely do, and I am still undecided on the fifth choice. I am finding it hard to decide whether to chose another UNI or another drama school. I am interested in Central, but I have discovered that you have to produce two songs to sing in the audition as well as a Shakespearian and contemporary monologue, and singing is not my strong point anymore, I used to sing very well as a young child and teenager, but not anymore! So I have been a bit thrown by this and am not sure if Central audition would be right for me as I have very little interest in singing and music.
