For the first time, there is an anthology of monologues for young people available, taken from plays commissioned as part of the National Theatre Connections over the past 20 years.
Always drawing together the work of 10 leading playwrights – a mixture of established and current writers – the annual National Theatre Connections anthologies offer young performers between the ages of 13 and 19 an engaging selection of plays to perform, read or study. Each play is specifically commissioned by the National Theatre's literary department and reflects the past year's programming at the venue in the plays' ideas, themes and styles. The plays are performed by approximately 200 schools and youth theatre companies across the UK and Ireland, in partnership with multiple professional regional theatres where the works are showcased.
This anthology of 100 monologues is the ideal resource for teenagers and young people attending auditions either in the amateur or professional theatre world; students leaving secondary school to audition for drama school; as well as teachers of English and Drama looking for suitable dramatic for their students to engage with and perform. It provides suitable scene-study books that are suitable and relevant to the student in terms of tone, style and content. Young actors who have searched for audition material written in the voice of teenage characters will welcome this resource.

Of
what
your
family
earn
I
cut
you
so
wide,
they’ll
need
a
rope
To
stitch
you
closed
This
is
my
hood
here
And
everybody
knows
Makin’
foes
with
me?
Prepare
a
date
for
your
funeral
Shank
ya
man
every
other
day
That’s
my
usual
past
time
Was
a
warrior
in
my
past
life
Far’s
right
now
i
got
no
cares
regards
life
So
you
better
hope
you
got
a
crew
to
defend
you
Cos
if
not,
then
right
now,
i’m
gonna
end
you.
Lil
Kid
and
DJ
Emperor
introduce
themselves
at
the
beginning
of
this
play
in
the
landscape
of
a
street
where
a
stabbing
has
taken
place.
Lil
Kid
is
a
seemingly
vulnerable
weedy
kid,
and
Emperor
is
the
alpha-male
supremo
from
the
‘other
school’.
They
clash
all
the
way
through
the
play
until
a
startling
fi
nal
scene
in
which
Lil
Kid
exacts
his
revenge
to
the
bullying
with
tragic
consequence.
Both
speeches
use
a
strong
stylized
rhythm.
Enjoy
fi
nding
your
beat
as
you
work
out
how
to
play
these
two
speeches.
They
should
be
performed
much
larger
than
life,
and
with
a
lot
of
breath
and
style.
