I would argue all of Shakespeare’s monologues are emotionally charged and perfect for what you are after. That said, Lady Macbeth stands out, as does Hermione or any of the pieces from Winter’s Tale. A more nuanced one could be Portia from Julius Caesar.

Hey! First thing I would say is Shakespeare is really easy to re-cast and play with. I have seen classic roles played by all ages and genders. So I would never feel limited just to the set reality of the play. I was in a play with “Prospera” a female Prospero – this role would be perfect for 55+ – Tamora in Titus is also good. King Lear or Queen Lear (famously done by Robyn Nevin) is a classic older character (probably over 55) but could be fantastic to work on. Nurse in R + J – and this list goes on!

Thank you.

I’m a student and I’ve been reading through these monologues for a bit and trying to find which ones have the most emotional undertones or dramatic elements. Which monologues do you think show the most emotion (e.g sadness, guilt)?
Hoping to hear back soon!
Jasmine

Hi Lily, have they asked for you to do something outside of the play? Helena is a fun monologue from the Dream.

I’m sixteen years old and auditioning for “Much Ado About Nothing,” and I have a chance to be cast as Hero, What monologue would you recommend to showcase my ability to play that role?

Kind regards,
Lily

Hey Tarolyn,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Do what ever you are comfortable with. If you can make a well known one fresh and original then that’s great!
