The Ultimate Drama Pot Collection by Joanne Watkinson (paperback)

The Ultimate Drama Pot Collection

A book packed with one hundred monologues, aimed at young performers from pre teens to young adults.

The book has been written by a drama teacher with over twenty years’ experience which includes heading up a performing arts faculty in a secondary school, GCSE and A-Level examining and most currently residing as the principal of a successful theatre school. She also has her work published in the 2019 LAMDA Acting Anthology and has several published plays.

The original monologues and scenes can be used for class work, festivals and exams. The monologues have guidance on age suitability, and there is a good mix of male and female characters, with some written as non-gender specific in order to give the performer a wider selection of pieces to choose from.

This collection of creative material would be a great asset to any drama teacher’s resources and be of benefit to primary and secondary schools as well as youth groups, and those preparing for auditions.

‘A great series of monologues, funny, sad and heart warming. Like a little sidekick in paperback form! Extremely reliable resources for all genres of monologue. The author has, thankfully, broadened the horizons for anyone looking for suitable and appropriate audition material. Students will be thrilled to perform these fun, new, fresh, quirky and up to date pieces.’
Dave King, Drama Teacher and LAMDA Tutor

“My students and I absolutely LOVE this monologue book! For my latest exams I had students perform ‘I’m Not Scared’ and ‘The Loft’ for their own choice monologues! 

And, ‘I’m Not Ready’ and ‘It’s Here Somewhere’ as their anthology choices!
These are HUGE hits.”
