30 Monologues About Love for Men and Women: New Monologue Compilation Packet
Check out my new digital download compilation of 30 MEMORABLE MONOLOGUES ABOUT LOVE!
There’s a reason so many plays center around the main character chasing love. Besides the fact that we all need and want some form of love in our lives, pursuing love is dramatic. Characters put a lot on the line hoping for love, so stakes are high! Intense emotions make their way to the surface—extreme jealousy, divine passion, pitiful desperation, euphoric hope. So if you’re looking to make an impact performing a short piece of drama (while showcasing some memorable acting or directing chops), using a monologue about love can be a great option.
In this compilation for digital download, I’ve chosen 30 unique monologues of characters who really dig into the idea of love from one angle or another. The love in these monologues is not clean or perfect; these experiences with love are complicated, layered, sometimes funny, sometimes dark. There is betrayal, longing, hope, hurt, empowerment. But these are just additional reasons they make for interesting and challenging drama. From a jealous cat on a blind zoom date to a drugstore clerk smitten with a customer, from a heart made out of fingernails to a raccoon grieving the love of his life, enjoy these unique and memorable monologues about love! Check out descriptions of each monologue here.
These comedic and dramatic monologues about love range from 1 minute to 5+ minutes. There are 16 monologues for women and 14 monologues for men. While roles are written for gender-specific characters, actors of any gender may feel free to play any role they connect with; actors have the playwright’s permission to change the character pronouns, if desired.
Included in the packet are the following monologues (a great deal at $24.99 for all 30!).
