30 Monologues and Duologues for South Asian Actors

Published to celebrate the 30th anniversary year of Kali Theatre, 30 Monologues and Duologues for South Asian Actors is a brand new book of 30 monologues and duologues spoken by South Asian characters. It is designed for actors from a South Asian or dual heritage background to be performed in auditions, workshops, and acting classes.

Drawn from or adapted from a rich collection of full-length plays by women writers of South Asian descent, which Kali Theatre has developed and presented over the past 30 years, this collection is a celebratory, revolutionary, and necessary addition for actors and performers. From writers such as Rukhsana Ahmad and Nessah Muthy to new writers commissioned as part of Kali's SOLOS series curated during lockdown, this anthology captures a mix of powerful and original work.

This vital collection also features a concise history of Kali Theatre’s origins and a full list of the plays that Kali Theatre has publicly presented over the past 30 years. It is a celebratory offering from one of the UK's most inspiring theatre companies.
