I've got an audition for university this month for a drama

If you are up for the challenge, do Rick's rant at the end of the first episode of season 1 or 3 of Rick and Morty
>Bring back the Szechuan sauce!

Stay away from Shakespeare but don't go to edge or modern

>I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will kill you.

With dramatic pauses, motioning and gestures, this can be dragged to 60 seconds.

I was thinking of doing Atticus' closing court speech from To Kill a Mockingbird but a condensed version, though I'm not sure if it's technically considered a "solo speech" because I'm addressing other people
god i want to kill myself

Isn't that not a play though?

You could do some kind of thing from moliere or someone. Or maybe like, Tennessee Williams or Brecht. Or Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf.

That'd be awesome
>Look on their faces when they realize it's just Taken

I think I'm more worried about doing a speech that's not remarkable
If I could just ask someone who's in the same position as me, 'what are you doing?' I'd feel somewhat better..

Ignore the other suggestions in this thread OP, the university has asked that you perform a short monologue from a PLAY.

You'd best start reading play scripts that are popular or interesting to you. Try to select a short monologue that is emotionally powerful but avoid melodrama.
