Description

Season Three, we're talking about Soliloquy. Last time, we saw Hamlet's "Classic Soliloquy" - where a character pours their heart out on stage.  This time, we're rolling through Macbeth's soliloquies...which aren't quite what they seem.  Learn four new ways to write soliloquy by listening to Macbeth.  Including:



1) Cut Soliloquies - Where the speaker "cuts away" from the action of the scene


2) Drift Soliloquies - Where the speaker "drifts away" from speaking to someone to not caring if they're overheard


3) Apostrophe Soliloquies - Where the speaker conjures a person, scene, or object (dagger, anyone?) to "speak to" in soliloquy


4) Villain Soliloquies - Where the speaker turns to the audience...and reveals their dastardly plan!  Exposition, baby!


But how do you write them?  Give a listen to find out.
