  1. The Monologue Kim Hutchens Theatre Arts

  2. What Is A Monologue? A monologue long is a speech that expresses the thoughts or feelings of one character.

  3. How do I write a quality monologue? • A monologue should have a beginning, middle and an end. • A monologue should always reveal something – be it a story, a secret, an answer to a question, or an emotional outpouring. • A monologue offers insight into the character.

  4. MONOLOGUE In theatre, the monologue can be a great gift. It's a gift to the audience to look up on that stage and see inside the thoughts of a human being. For the great monologues are private moments, secrets, emotions, heartbreaks, wonders.

  5. The Need to Speak In every monologue a character must need to speak. In every monologue you write, you must determine the need for the character to speak. What drives the character? What is the character’s motivation?

  6. Inanimate Object Monologue Choose an object and give it a voice. Is it happy? Unhappy? What are its dreams, hopes, and fears? What does it want? What is its past and what does it hope for the future? Write a monologue for this object – imagine it is speaking. What would it say?

  7. Example:(soda can) How could you just use me like this? I thought we had something together. I thought I meant something to you. When you chose me, I was so excited. ME, you picked me out of everyone else. I was a little worried about leaving home, even though it was always, always cold in there, but I just knew that together we would have the most exciting and fabulous life. I gave up everything for you. And you --- you just threw me away. You used me up, and threw me away. Was this all I meant to you? Was I just some … container to you? Nothing more? You could at least have put me in the recycling bin.
