Comedic monologues for women shakespeare

I chose this one while I was studying Shakespeare at Oxford over the summer, where I was performing as the maniacal Don John in a production of 'Much Ado About Nothing.' That experience gave me the notion that I could play a rather convincing villain, so the Antony monologue I picked seems a perfect fit. After doing the comical `Bottom's Dream' monologue last year, I decided I wanted to try my hand at something dramatic. The monologue I chose shows Antony right after the senators have left, leaving him alone with the body and a moment to express his sorrow and rage. As soon as Antony finds Caesar's body, he's forced to hide his powerful feelings of sadness and anger over the death of his dear friend out of fear that Caesar's killers would kill him too if he did not condone their actions. When people think of Mark Antony speeches, they usually jump right to 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen,' but I wanted to try something different. Through Prosperos ownership, Shakespeare views Caliban as a lesser being. 'Mark Antony's monologue is spoken in the moments following Caesar's death. Here you will find monologues for women, men, teens, young adults and seniors. Normally I don't like Shakespeare's comedic writing, so I figured a comedic monologue from one of his darkest plays would be a good midway point.'ДЄndrew Israel, junior at Brunswick School: From Julius Caesar. 'I wanted to try out a comedic monologue. Ridgley Knapp, junior at Brunswick School: Macbeth. 'I really enjoy the role of Imogen she's a dimensional character whose difficult circumstances are consistently overcome by her pure determination to love.' Talia Waxman, senior at Greenwich High School: From Cymbeline. Although I wouldn't know anything about actually being royalty, it's easy to relate to as high school kid who has definitely been in similar emotional situations.' 'I really enjoy the monologue because it deals with a young adult attempting to deal with his fall from power. Oliver Prose, senior at Greenwich High School: Richard II.

It's a strange experience to call for the earth to `gape open wide and eat him quick' and mean it.' 'I chose Lady Anne's monologue because Anne desires to protect and preserve and save in that moment.because the language of the monologue is very ethereal, or evoking of other worldly things, but with the most sincere of intents. Miranda Falk, senior at Convent of the Sacred Heart: From Richard III. She is a very strong woman, and it is really rewarding to play her.' She kind of goes from disbelief, to defiance, to anger, and ends by completely standing up for herself, and what she believes in. is a very powerful speech with lots of opportunities for mood changes. Hal seems casual and laid back, more like someone you would meet today.'Д®lizabeth Bachmann, sophomore at Convent of the Sacred Heart: From Measure for Measure. 'Hal was more relatable than other Shakespeare characters. 'It was interesting to see how far his character fell from grace over the course of the play, and how lowly he thought of himself as a human being.'ДЄidan Sebold, sophomore at Stanwich School: Henry IV. Matthew Shindel, sophomore at Stanwich School: Macbeth.
