Monologue
I have chosen three monologues that I really enjoy and would love to consider as options for my end of year solo performance
A Journal of the Plague Year
 A Journal of the Plague Year is a novel by Daniel Defoe. It is a fictionalised account of one man’s experiences of the year 1665, in which the Great Plague struck the city of London. The book is a roughly chronological account, purporting to have been written several years after the event.Defoe is a morbid male character that depicts his view on the devastating events of the Great Plague. He intrigues me yet I find it difficult to set myself in his position as nothing in my life amounts to anything close to his experience.This is a monologue I am considering I have some ideas on how to change and set the context of the playscript but nothing is set in concrete.
 A Doll’s House
A Doll’s House, written two years after The Pillars of Society was the first of Ibsen’s plays to create a sensation and is now perhaps his most famous play.A Dolls House centers around the lives of Nora and Torvald a couple who have a normal “Victorian Marriage” until Nora decides to leave her husband as he suffocates her individuality presenting her as a doll in which he can manipulate. After many hours of thinking over this playscript I finally decided to consider it for one of my monologues,although I was rather hesistant to try it at first,I come around and started developing many ideas that I am excited about.
Lastly
The Talented Mr.Ripley surrounds the tale of Tom Ripley a young man struggling to make a living in New York City, with no prospects he uses his many talents to survive by doing whatever is required.
The monologue is for Aunt Dottie… Im not really sure if Ill be considering this for my solo performance but it was interesting to read up on the storyline of the Talented Mr.Ripley
Im personally considering doing A Dolls House as it has alot of potentional..
