Drama Sites

Drama Games
The drama games are drawn from a wide range of sources, including traditional games such as Grandma's Footsteps, as well as exercises developed by directors, actors and teachers. They can be used for breaking the ice, physical warm-ups, group dynamics and encouraging creativity
Monologue Archive
An archive of free monologues. Note that many of the translations of the monologues which have been translated from, say, the Ancient Greek playwrights, date from the early 20th century and the style of the English used can sound quite 'flowery' or 'stuffy' to our modern ears.
