About the Book:

Are you looking for a contemporary monologue for an upcoming class or audition? Or looking for a Canadian play to produce, read, study? OutSpoken is a Canadian collection of Lesbian scenes and monologues.

Touching on gender, sexuality, family, pop culture, and history, these pieces range from the hilarious to the poignant, the sexy to the sincere, the truthful to the tongue-in-cheek. Collected by writer and journalist Susan G. Cole from poetry, prose, theatre, and even a graphic novel, the scenes and monologues found in this collection reflect personal, political, and cultural complexities in the Canadian lesbian community.

Intended for study or auditions and infinitely readable on its own, OutSpoken includes works by Trey Anthony, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Mariko Tamaki, d'bi.young.anitafrika, Jovette Marchessault, and many more.
