Dramatic Monologue help please!

[Serena_Laurel]

I've looked on the internet and now it's too late to go to the library/book store...do you guys know any dramatic monologues that are great or maybe some links that have some? I've been looking but I can't find one that I like.
I am looking for something that is dark with a Gia movie or Girl interrupted movie (but not those because they're so over done) feel to it.
Age range 19-25, female obv and has to be under 2 minutes.

It would be much appreciated thank you.

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. For dark, dramatic monologues, look at contemporary plays like 'night, Mother by Marsha Norman, Proof by David Auburn, or Wit by Margaret Edson. Monologue books from Smith and Kraus, and sites like Backstage, are good sources. Choose a piece close to your age and experience, and make sure you know the whole play, not just the monologue.
