It's always good to have a bunch of monolauges ready so what are your faves? Please none from those stupid monolauge books! Also try to stay away from comedy unless its REALLY funny!!!!

It has been awhile since I have done a monologue, but I really liked a piece from "The Madwoman of Chaillot." I didn't realize until I had already performed it that it was also made into a movie with Katharine Hepburn (which I have still not seen, it did not get as good of reviews as the play). It is comedy, but I think that it is a satire that anyone today can enjoy. Countess Aurelia is a lovely but very eccentric woman that is so much fun to play. It is good to do as a monologue because there are so many parts of the play where she just goes off on a tangent and talks forever and you don't need any props. I only remember parts of it now, when she is talking about waking up in the morning and putting on her wig and makeup. I found the script online books.google.com . . .

If I get time to skim through it I will let you know which pages I pulled the monologue from.
