Have you ever struggled to find the perfect monologue?
Do you want to lose yourself in an unforgettable story?
Do you want to be...transported?

Philip Ridley's The Vespers is a major work by a major writer. 100 original, self-contained monologues for actors (and readers) of all genders, all ages, and all levels of experience. Varying in length, style and structure - from the surreally comic to the heartbreakingly tragic - this is an essential toolkit for any actor (or anyone who enjoys a good story) with an introduction by Cath Badham, Lecturer in Performance at the University of Derby, UK.

Philip Ridley was born and brought up in the East End of London. His first play, The Pitchfork Disney, changed the course of British theatre. His other plays include Moonfleece, Vincent River, Mercury Fur, Leaves of Glass, Tender Napalm, Radiant Vermin, and The Poltergeist.
