    Summary note
    New Monologues for Men features forty monologues from plays published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama recently.

Each monologue is preceded by an introductory paragraph, written by the editor, outlining the setting, character type, and point in the plot. Suggestions are offered for staging, performance decisions, points of significance in the text, and drawing on decisions made in professional production/s.
