{"product_id":"9781566080446","title":"The Theatre Audition Book: Playing Monologs from Contemporary, Modern, Period, Shakespeare and Classical Plays","description":"Here's the most comprehensive book of monologs ever compiled, with 144 audition pieces conveniently grouped into historical “periods” from the classical to the contemporary. The monologs selected for each historical period are representative of the competitive material you might expect to discover at auditions. Each selection also includes a brief character analysis. This text is more than just a fine collection, however. It's also a “how to” guide, with the first chapters presenting a blueprint for preparing auditions and selecting audition materials.The fundamental performance principle that Ratliff develops in the introductory chapters suggests guidelines and strategies to enrich your distinct and individual audition style. There is also a chapter of interesting “non-dramatic” monologs adpated or edited from sources other than theatre playscripts that should challenge your skills in interpretation and characterization. Finally, there are a number of valuable resource materials that include selected readings, a survey of period dates and a glossary of useful audition terms.","brand":"Meriwether Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053693944048,"sku":"9781566080446","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781566080446_p0.jpg?v=1763787016","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781566080446","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
