There has been a great change in the last twenty years to actor auditions which now require the demonstration of enormous flexibility. The actor is often expected to show more range than ever before and often several shorter audition speeches are asked for instead of one or two longer ones. To stay at the top of his or her game the Shakespearean actor needs more knowledge of what makes the play tick especially since the early plays demand a different style from the later ones. Each genre (comedy history tragedy) has different requirements. No current monologue book deals directly with the bulk of these concerns. ÊOne More unto the Speech Dear FriendsÊ now fills that gap. This three volume set will help actors discover the extra details of humanity that the original folio texts automatically offer. Of Shakespeare''s 37 plays only ÊPericlesÊ is not included. In the trilogy of books there are over 900 separate audition possibilities. This represents about 600 more monologues than are available in any other series.ÞÞThere are four parts to each speech: Û A background giving context and approximate timing; Û A modern text version; Û The original folio version; Û Commentary to explain the differences between the two texts including full discussion of the devices peculiar to that speech''s genre the age and gender of the character and more.

This edition of Othello reprints the Bevington edition of the play accompanied by six sets of thematically arranged primary documents and illustrations designed to facilitate many different approaches to Shakespeare.

The primary documents contextualize race and religion in the Renaissance, gender relations, military life, the passions, the notion of the "Other" in early modern England, and the afterlife of Othello on the stage.
