3 WHAT IS MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING? MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! Monologue Everything is a book crammed full of exercises that will help you to become an expert in the art of monologue writing. The monologue is a mini-play. It is a microcosm within the macrocosm that is the play, a moment of magic that has its own form within the larger story structure. The monologue functions as communication directly from the soul of a character to the audience. Monologues are inherently theatrical, because in real life they rarely occur. No one stands up and reveals their innermost thoughts as they re waiting for the bus. But monologues are tricky to write they can quickly turn ugly. Monologues can become boring, pedantic, and drag the pace of a play down to a grinding a halt. A great monologue will make an audience sit forward and hold their breath as a door is opened for them into the character s psyche. Monologues aren t just play devices: A monologue is a Swiss army knife for the writer, it s a warm-up tool, it s a backstory/character development tool, it can be used in the classroom the possibilities are endless. Enjoy! PS: Lesson Plans and Rubrics to help you to employ these exercises in a formal classroom setting can be found in the Classroom Edition of Monologue Everything! Lindsay Price i

5 INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS A MONOLOGUE? MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! From the Greek: monologos speaking alone (mono = alone, logos = speech/word) WHAT IS A MONOLOGUE? A monologue is spoken text which: is presented by a single character. is written in the first person. can be comedic or dramatic. reveals something: the character s inner thoughts, emotions, secrets, a story, or the answer to a question. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MONOLOGUE AND A SOLILOQUY? A soliloquy is a speech which a character makes to him or herself while alone onstage they are thinking aloud. The most famous soliloquy is Hamlet s To be, or not to be speech from Shakespeare s The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. In contrast, a character who delivers a monologue is communicating either with the audience or with another character. HOW LONG HAVE PLAYWRIGHTS BEEN USING MONOLOGUES IN THEIR PLAYS? Since the very beginnings of theatre! Ancient Greek theatre evolved from monologues in its earliest form, one character spoke alongside a chorus. Later, this form evolved to use two actors, then three but it all began with the IF I M AN ACTOR, SHOULD I WRITE MY OWN MONOLOGUES FOR AUDITIONS? I d never say never, but, for the most part, taking a monologue from an existing play is a better choice than using a stand-alone You want to present a piece that comes from a larger work, one which relates to a wider context. A stand-alone monologue exists only within its own moment. Lindsay Price 1
6 IF I M A PLAYWRIGHT, WHY SHOULD I BOTHER WITH MONOLOGUES? I PREFER DIALOGUE! It takes skill to write an impactful and effective monologue, and developing that skill is reason enough to practice writing monologues. You can use the monologue as a warm-up tool even if it s not your preferred style of writing or use it to further develop your characters. There are many ways to hone your skills through using monologues. WHAT MAKES A GOOD MONOLOGUE? There are many factors to consider when writing a The three key elements are: A need to speak. The character is speaking for a reason they have a need to share, a need to reveal, a need to explain. I need to tell you about my dad. A specific character voice. Capturing how a character talks is essential to creating a captivating What type of language do they use? At what pace do they speak? How do they convey their story? Do they speak in run-on sentences, or in fits and starts? You sit down, you hear? I got somethin to tell ya! A journey. A monologue is a mini-play, so it must have a beginning, a middle, and an end but don t limit your concept of a journey to something physical. An emotional journey for a character can be just as impactful where is the character emotionally at the beginning of the monologue, and where do they end up? From I need to tell you about my dad, to That s why I will never marry you. EXERCISE Gather thirty monologues. Get them from books, from online sources, or ask a teacher for examples. The only rule is that the monologues must come from plays. Read each monologue and decide if the three key elements (a need to speak, a specific character voice, and a journey) are present. Create your own criteria what do you think makes a good monologue? To what standards will you hold your own work? Do your gathered monologues meet your criteria? 2 Monologue Everything! theatrefolk.com/monologue_everything
7 WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF GREAT MONOLOGUES? It s impossible to have a top ten list of monologues that works for everybody. What makes a monologue great depends on your personal relationship to the character and the play. Are you looking for a man s monologue or a woman s monologue? Are you a teenager, or are you in your fifties? Are you looking for something modern or something classic? The following list is by no means a complete list, but it s a good place to start. To get the best impact from each monologue, you ll need to place it in context so be sure to read the entire play from which it comes. CLASSIC MONOLOGUES PLAY PLAYWRIGHT CHARACTER FIRST LINE Hamlet, Prince of Denmark A Midsummer Night s Dream William Shakespeare William Shakespeare Hamlet Helena Tartuffe Moliere Marianne Man and Superman George Bernard Shaw The Devil To be, or not to be, that is the question...

14 LESSON PLAN THREE MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! MONOLOGUE EVERYTHING! The Headline Prompt Monologue OBJECTIVE To demonstrate comprehension of the monologue form by applying a writing prompt. DESCRIPTION Students will demonstrate their understanding of what makes a good monologue by applying the criteria to an original monologue that uses a headline prompt as the jumping-off point. MATERIALS Elements of a Monologue (see Appendix) Monologue Rubric: Headline Prompt Monologue Checklist Monologue Checklist Peer Editor sheet Pen & paper INSTRUCTION Session One 1. Journal Prompt: Students start the class by writing in their journals on the topic: Where do ideas come from? 2. Discuss with students: What prompts might be used to jumpstart the writing process? Guide them toward tangible examples such as pictures, poems, lyrics, or objects. 3. Discuss with students: Why is it more effective to use a tangible prompt instead of trying to create something out of thin air? Guide students toward making the connection that a tangible prompt gives the writer something to work with. Trying to create something out of thin air is an unreliable technique, and can lead to insecurity and writer s block. 4. Explain to students: They will write a monologue using a tangible prompt the headline. 16 Monologue Everything! theatrefolk.com/monologue_everything
15 5. Discuss with students: Where can headlines be found? (e.g. in newspapers and online news sources.) Why is a headline an appropriate prompt for a monologue? 6. Guide students through a sample exercise using the following headline as a writing prompt: Bed bugs are a booming business. Students use the automatic writing technique to write about the headline for two minutes. What comes to mind when they think of that headline? Emphasize to students that they are to write for the entire two minutes to get any and all thoughts about the headline onto the page and not to self-critique. Students address the who and what of the Who are some of the possible characters derived from this headline (e.g. a germaphobe woman, a salesman selling bug spray, the bed bug itself)? What need to speak could the character have? (e.g. The bed bug wants to convince people he s not so bad. The salesman wants to sell the bug spray before its nasty side effects come to light.) Students address possible beginnings and endings for the (e.g. The salesman wants to sell but ends up confessing the side effects, maybe even displaying some of the side effects.) 7. Explain to students they are going to write a bed bug headline The monologue can be quite short, half a page. This exercise should be done during class time. Review the key elements of a good Use the Elements of a Monologue handout for reference: A need to speak A specific character voice A journey 8. Have students share their monologues with each other in small groups. 9. Students repeat the process using a headline of their own choosing. The homework for this class period is to bring in five headlines, either from online sources or from physical newspapers. Session Two 1. Journal Prompt: Students start the class by writing in their journals and recalling: What is a monologue prompt? What are some examples? 2. Divide the class into groups or pairs. Have students compare their five headlines and help each other to choose one to use as a prompt. Lindsay Price 17
16 3. Once students have chosen a headline, have them use the automatic writing technique to write about the headline for two minutes. 4. Next, students address who the character is, why they are speaking, and what they are saying by completing the following tasks: Write out a brief character description. Define the character s need to speak. Describe the beginning and ending of the 5. Students are given the rest of the class period to work on writing their monologues. As they write, students follow the Monologue Checklist. The monologue is to be completed for homework. Session Three 1. Students bring in the first draft of their Students share their monologue in pairs and complete a Peer Editor sheet for each other. They then make final revisions. 2. Written Reflection: Explain in your own words why using a prompt like a headline is helpful for writing a ASSESSMENT Students hand in their completed monologue with their Peer Editor sheet Students hand in their Written Reflection Monologue Rubric 18 Monologue Everything! theatrefolk.com/monologue_everything
