A brand-new collection of original audition pieces written by and for actors of colour, commissioned by Tamasha Theatre Company and edited by Titilola Dawudu, with a foreword by Noma Dumezweni.

Hear Me Now is a unique collection of over eighty original audition monologues, expressly created by a range of award-winning writers brought together by producer Titilola Dawudu and Tamasha Theatre Company. They’re ideal for actors of colour searching for speeches for auditions or training, writers, teachers, and theatre-makers who are passionate about improving diversity.

The book provides varied, nuanced stories that expand beyond the range of existing material available – from a cross-dressing Imam, to the first Black Prime Minister, the British Indian girl with dreams of becoming a country music star, or the young Black boy who loves baking as much as football – Hear Me Now is an essential tool for actors of colour to showcase their range, and seeks to inspire, empower, and create a legacy for generations to come.

Tamasha Theatre Company is a diverse cohort of bold and playful theatremakers. Foregrounding emerging and established artists from culturally diverse backgrounds, Tamasha seek to fuel the future of new writing by producing and touring the best new plays, that challenge and change audiences everywhere; nurture, train and inspire artists, leaders and young people through Tamasha Developing Artists; enable theatremakers to engage creatively with communities and audiences, altering the perception of what theatre can be. Successes like East is East, Snookered, Blood, My Name is... and Made in India have won acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
