I just received an e-mail from Steven Shults at Shakespeare Monologues (http://www.shakespeare-monologues.org) and I am pleased to announce that we have just created a partnership with him.

Our site is going to be the host site for a collection of Shakespearean monologues that are pre-formatted to be actor friendly.  The main link to each monologue will reside on his site, but the links will point to a pdf (Adobe Acrobat) file that will be hosted here on our site.  If you have not already visited the site, you should do so.  He’s got a great collection of monologues already online and is continually adding to them.  As of now, he only has links to the page containing the monologue at the MIT complete works online.  That’s a great start, but its not too actor friendly.

So, I’m going to begin putting together some pdf files containing the monologues that are preformatted for scansion–ready to go for actors.  I can already hear the shouts of thousands of undergraduate and graduate students everywhere.

The process is going to be time-consuming and it will take a while to get all of the online, but once it’s done, it’s going to be a great resource on the internet for anyone who’s working on a Shakespearean monologue.
