The only thing I don’t understand is if you
create it off of a scene of the play
OR
Do you make a monologue for a character with a random story that relates to the play
Answer: I took theatre for 3 years. When creating a monologue for a play try and make a backstory to it and use things from past scenes or future scenes. As long as it relates to the play your good! Try not to overthink it.
