Curated by series editor Paul Sugarman from the Applause three-volume series, Once More unto the Speech, Dear Friends, edited by Neil Freeman, these monologues from Shakespeare's works are given new life and purpose for today's readers and actors alike.

There are twelve titles in this series, which is divided into four categories: monologues for younger men, monologues for older men, monologues for women, and monologues for any gender, the latter being a unique feature since most monologue books are compiled for either men or women.
