| Spalding Gray and Eric Bogosian have made the monologue a significant part of contemporary theatre, and more and more one-person performances crop up every season. Building on the success of Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy, Jay Sankey brings his unique approach to the art of the monologue. With a blend of calm, sound advice combined and anarchic humour, Sankey explores the dangers of the monologue for, as he puts it, ''the vain and the inexperienced'', as well the freedom it offers the performer. This will be invaluable for those attempting full-length monologues as well as shorter audition pieces or speeches. |

Jay Sankey -- stand-up comic, magician, and cartoonist -- is back with another book for performers. Building on the success of his" Zen and the Art of Stand-up Comedy," Jay is moving further into the uncharted wilds of solo performance. Spalding Gray and Eric Bogosian have made the monologue a significant part of contemporary theater, and more and more one-person performances crop up every season. The monologue gives you incredible freedom -- as well as posing real dangers, especially, as Jay puts it, for 'the vain and inexperienced'. Stand-up comedy is funny, cathartic, and usually over in minutes. A monologue is reflective and can run an hour or more. Comedy entertains; the monologue explores. With his trademark blend of calm, sound advice and unexpected, anarchic humor, Jay Sankey guides you through the experience of performing your monologue. His question-and-answer format allows him to cover the issues central not only to the full-length monologue, but also to explain how his techniques and ideas can help you perform a short monologue (like Hamlet's 'To be or not to be' speech) within a play or, taken out of context, as an audition piece. What Sankey has to say about the monologue will give you the nerve to sit on a chair by yourself for an hour and talk about anything at all. And, as Jay says, if you're lucky there will be other people in the room. |
