FINALLY. I found a contemporary (haha, not so much - 1939) monologue from Daphne Du Maurier's play adaptation of her own novel. She wrote three plays, this one not as popular as her others...but I'm going to read the book (they don't have the play at the library) so I remember the story correctly.
It's sort of a Gothic (Bronte-like) nightmare of a story...the black-and-white movie is thrilling and horrific and wonderfully dramatic. So I need to go watch that again and see if I can pick up anything from that. (It might be on my Netflix queue)
The monologue is brilliant...with lots of action. Not like the monologues I've been reading where I struggle to come up with what I should be doing.
So...one more to go. Comedic contemporary or modern monologue. This has been really difficult but I found some newer (in the last five years) monologue collections so I'm hoping I find something in there. If not...I might have to comb through my favorite movie comedies and come up with something. Teh internetz have not been helpful on this one. :P
But at least I'm 3 for 4. That's a relief. Now I just have to work on two songs (when I start voice lessons) for auditions. !!!
