Do you struggle to find the perfect monologue for your audition or exam? Or are you searching for road-tested scenes for your students to study and explore in class? Look no further.

Monologues, Duologues and Scenes for Young Performers is a new, original collection of pieces that young people and teachers can rely on. With more than 30 new pieces for male and female actors of varying ages, these scenes explore a wide range of themes, perspectives and characters, perfect for both the audition room and classroom.

All the scenes have been tried and tested by young actors and many have been used in LAMDA examinations as well as for Speech and Drama Festivals and auditions. Moreover, each piece is accompanied by notes on character, background and setting as well as a whole separate chapter full of Drama activities and guidance, allowing young performers to explore and analyse each script and deliver their best performance.

Featuring a foreword by Jessica Madsen (Cressida Cowper from Netflix's hit Bridgerton series) and a focus on diverse themes and perspectives, Monologues, Duologues and Scenes for Young Performers is perfect for young people and educators alike, providing tailor-made scenes and tools to get the most out of their performance.
