A book packed with monologues, duologues, script extracts and other stimuli for performance. It is aimed at young performers from pre teens to young adults. The Drama Pot 3 follows on from the success of The Drama Pot & The Drama Pot 2. 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. The original monologues and scenes can be used for class work, festivals, exams, and there are also some great script starters, which make great starting points for children to create their own performance work. 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 books, funny, sad and heart warming. Like a little sidekick in paperback form! The Drama Pot 1 and 2 are 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)
