Every HSC drama student who undertakes 'Performance' must do an IP (Individual Performance) as part of their final exam. Playwrights' company 7-On has created a collection of self-contained performance texts conceived with Higher School Certificate students in mind. The 21 monologues are accompanied by notes to help young performers understand, research, and communicate each piece. 7-On comprises seven renowned Australian playwrights united by their commitment to getting good new writing onto Australian stages. By providing HSC students with compelling material of substance, 7-On aims to encourage a passion for the arts and engender a new generation of theatre-makers and theatregoers.

REVIEW
Wow, what a great book. So many different types of monologues, all really suitable for young adults. Fantastic for high school drama students but also wonderful material for aspiring and professional actors. The notes after each piece are invaluable. Wish it had been around when I was auditioning for drama school. - Miranda Otto
