Two Gentlemen Verona
Are these 2 Shakespearean monologues contrasting enough? I need 2 contrasting pieces for an audition?
1. The Tempest – Act 2, Sc 2, Ln 23, Trinculo’s speech:
“Here’s neither bush nor shrub, to bear off…”

2. Two Gentlemen of Verona – Act 1, Sc 2, Ln 115, Julia’s speech:
“O hateful hands, to tear such loving words!…”
http://www-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/two_gentlemen/two_gentlemen.1.2.html
(I can’t figure out whether this is sad or funny!)
If not, can anyone suggest something else for the second piece? I want to do a female lovesick character lamenting over lost love or something like that. But I don’t want to do the usual suspects like Romeo & Juliet or Hamlet. (A Midsummer Night’s Dream is also out because that’s the play I’m auditioning for.)
I’m female, but I chose my first monologue from a male speech because I couldn’t find any very funny pieces written for females, and I love that Trinculo speech.
These don’t qualify as contrasting monologues; they’re both comedic. Of the two, you should keep the Julia piece — which can be VERY funny if properly played — and lose the Trinculo piece.
There’s no reason to audition with a speech from a role that you couldn’t conceivably be cast in RIGHT NOW.
If you continue to work on the Julia (comic) piece, then you should be looking for a strong dramatic piece to contrast it.
You want to stay off the beaten path? Here are a few to consider:
1) Lady Percy in “Henry IV, part one.” The speech where she confronts him, and demands that he share his pre-battle emotions with her.
2) Imogen from “Cymbeline.” The speech where she pleads with Pisanio to kill her, because she realizes that her husband thinks that she’s been unfaithful.
3) Queen Margaret from “Henry VI, part two.” There are several useful monologues in this play. Look for the one where she describes how hard it was for her to leave her native France, and how disappointed she has been with her marriage to King Henry.
That ought to get you started. But, again…keep Julia; lose Trinculo.

Two Gentlemen of Verona $37.43 In what is perhaps Shakespeares earliest play, love goes astray, deception and betrayal cause confusion, and a multilayered plot keeps the pace energetic and joyful. Proteus and Valentine are each sent from Verona to the court of the Duke of Milan. They are the best of friends, until Proteus is enamored by Silvia, though she is the new object of Valentines affections. Despite having sworn constancy to his own betrothed, Julia, Proteus sets out to betray his unsuspecting friend, only to find that both Silvia and Julia have a thing or two to teach him about loyalty and love. The play reveals how the ideal of male friendship can crumble under the strain of conflicting love interests. A wonderful comedy filled with passionate lovers, women disguised, outlaws, fights, sudden revelations, and a happy denouement, all highlighted by a farcical subplot featuring the character Launce and his dog Crab.

Two Gentlemen of Verona (Dodo Press) $18.77 William Shakespeare (15641616) was an English poet and playwright, now widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the worlds preeminent dramatist. He is often called Englands national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply The Bard ). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlains Men, later known as the Kings Men. He produced most of his known work between 1590 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. Next he wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, producing plays, such as Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies and collaborated with other playwrights.

Young Gentlemen $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Young gentlemen is an archaic term that was used in the Royal Navy to refer to boys aspiring to become a commissioned officer. Until promotion to lieutenant, these boys would serve in various ratings, and the term was used to group all these boys together. A similar term today would be officer candidates or cadets. In the 18th century Royal Navy, rank and position on board ship was defined by a mix of two hierarchies, an official hierarchy of ranks and a conventionallyrecognized social divide between gentlemen and nongentlemen. Boys aspiring for a commission were often called young gentlemen instead of their substantive rating to distinguish their higher social standing from the ordinary sailors. Boys would join the navy around the age of 12, and they would serve as a servant for one of the officers, as a volunteer, or as a seaman. After about 3 years, they would be promoted to midshipman.
