No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames: Monologues for Drama Students by 7-On

Tragedy or comedy? Modern or period? Costumed or unadorned? Each year thousands of young, performers must face examines or audition panels with an individual performance (IP) which best reveals their talent. Playwrights' company 7-on has created No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames: 21 self-contained performance texts, conceived with senior school students and young actors in mind. Each monologue is accompanied by notes to help young performers understand, research, and communicate their chosen piece. There is a glossary of key theatrical terms and an afterword on how to construct your own IP. 7-On comprises international produced playwrights Donna Abela, Vanessa Bates, Hilary Bell, Noëlle Janaczewska, Verity Laughton, Ned Manning and Catherine Zimdahl ? united by their commitment to getting good new writing onto Australian stages. By providing students and budding actors with compelling material of substance, 7-On aims to encourage a passion for the arts and engender a new generation of theatre-makers and theatre-goers.
