This is a one-of-a-kind book that shows actors how to write and produce successful monologues. In-depth interviews with top monologists and solo play directors - including Christopher Ashley, Mary Louise Wilson, Spalding Gray, Evan Handler, Danny Hoch, and Jo Bonney - provide honest, inspiring insights into the development of one-person performances. In addition, the extensive appendixes supply information about artists' communities, playwrighting grants and competitions, and theaters that nurture solo works.
