Actors need audition material, and no playwright is as frequently mined for gold as the Bard himself. But actors too often rely on the same great speeches from the same great plays. Following on his successful Alternative Shakespeare Auditions for Women, Simon Dunmore presents even more under appreciated speeches that will make a classical audition sound fresh. Here are fifty speeches from Shakespeare -- overlooked speeches from favorite plays like Antony and Cleopatra, as well as good speeches from plays frequently ignore, like Love's Labour Lost. Each speech is accompanied by brief character descriptions, notes on obscure words and references, and a helpful of context.
