Built For Abuse: Acting Monologues For Men

Playwright and screenwriter Joshua James has gathered fifty monologues for men, collected from his plays THE MEN'S ROOM, TALLBOY WALKIN', 2 VERY DANGEROUS PEOPLE SHARING 1 SMALL SPACE, and many more, for actors to use for auditions, scene study or solo performance projects.

"Joshua James' work is bold, intelligent and subversive. Read it. Then find a way to make it happen on stage. American theater is clogged with the paltry visions of the privileged class, which assure us that the world we live in does not need immediate and radical change. James' work pulls the plug on sentimentality and comfort on stage. His work is at times dark, disturbing, but always arresting and shot through with a fine sense of humour."
