Monologue # 4 Revisited - Much Ado About Nothing, IV, ii - Dogberry

One of my favorite characters from Shakespeare!  This monologue is fitting for many of our public officials today.

Monologue # 3 Revisited Macbeth, I, vii - Macbeth

Macbeth struggles with his doubts, now that Duncan is in the castle.  I'm posting this a day early as I am at at KCACTF Region V in Des Moines.  I have time this morning, but might not tomorrow,

Monologue #2 Revisited - Macbeth, II, iii - The Porter

You can find some good comic monologues in the tragedies.  I have always been fond of the Porter.  He gives us the first recorded instance of the "knock, knock" joke, and in this monologue he discusses those things that are provoked by drink.  Have a pint and enjoy!  I also added a bit of product placement with my Shakespeare's Pizza t-shirt.  You never know,  maybe they could support this blog by becoming a sponsor!

Monologue #1 Revisited - Sir Thomas More, Act II, scene iv

Here I offer a comparison form last year to this year.  Probably better last year, but I will continue to work it as I like to use this for auditions.

I was inspired to explore this monologue because of the ongoing crisis with Syrian refugees.  I am sad that it is still relevant.
