Bringing together specially selected speeches by essential modern dramatists such as Howard Barker, Chris OConnell, Richard Bean, Tanika Gupta, Will Eno, Meredith Oakes, Abi Morgan, Tom Morris & Emma Rice, Kneehigh, Rod Beacham, Toby Whithouse, and Dennis Kelly, The Oberon Book of Modern Monologues for Men is a unique and useful resource for amateur, student, and professional actors alike, participating in acting classes, contests, auditions and rehearsals.
