Finally, a book on monologs that is more than an anthology. Friedman presents not just a selection of monologs to choose from, she teaches actors how to create one. An accomplished casting director, actress, and acting teacher, Friedman provides clear, concise instructions on how to handle an audition, detailing the pitfalls the actor may encounter in searching for a monolog, or in acting one out, and offering solutions. Next, she provides a series of scenes from many well-known plays often overdone at auditions and adapts these scenes into refreshing, vibrant monologs with a keen eye to what will serve the actor best. She also gives a short, insightful explanation of what each piece needs in terms of acting it. Michael Shurtleff's foreword (his own book, Audi tion: Everything an Actor Needs To Know To Get the Part , LJ 4/1/78, became a bible of the industry) states that "this book could revolutionize the practice of using monologues for auditions . . . ." This reviewer is inclined to agree.
