Notes:
There are a wealth of monologue anthologies currently on the shelves for the younger female actor, but for those aged over forty looking for an audition piece that reflects their age - and all of the thoughts, feelings and language that come with it - there is almost nothing; and certainly nothing that accurately reflects their diversity. Women Are Like Wine was curated by Victoria Taylor Roberts, a multiple award winning writer, expressly to address this void and to offer older female actors a unique, more realistic representation of themselves during auditions.Women Are Like Wine includes 39 brand new pieces by established and emerging writers (many of whom have won multiple awards in film, TV, theatre and radio, with some also having been working actors). Ranging from 40 to old age, the contemporary monologues capture the changing female experience in a way that no other audition anthology has previously, exploring not just the pleasures and pitfalls of ageing, but also the glorious differences in women's culture, ethnicity and sexual identity.Previously unproduced, each monologue offers the chance to bring to life an, as yet, undiscovered character, free from comparison to the famous renditions that more well-worn monologues for 'older women' often suffer.
