REVIEWS
"It is important that young actors are aware of new writing and that they use new monologue material for their audition pieces. This [Collection] will prove that they are up-to-date with new plays, emerging writers and trends. The readership will be young actors auditioning for drama schools, professional work and even television or film work. It will be also of interest to playwrights, directors and producers looking for new plays" ~ Dr George Rodosthenous, University of Leeds
