This volume gathers 110 standout monologues by great playwrights that are classic, but less familiar. They span 350 years, 15 countries, and 8 languages of origin - works by historic women and gender-expansive playwrights that are powerful, but under-represented. From Aphra Behn to Alice Childress, George Sand to Catherine the Great, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz to Zora Neale Hurston, these works are dynamic, well-crafted, and worthy of being performed time and time again. Indispensable for anyone who wants to walk into an audition room and be the only person who did that monologue.
Expand the Canon is a non-profit that champions women and gender-expansive playwrights whose works should have always been considered classics.
