In order to meet the requirements of the first assessment criteria, AO1 Knowledge and understanding of repertoire, you need to read the whole play and understand how your monologue fits within the bigger context of the play. You can consider some of the following questions:

What does my character do within play?
How does it align with what s/he says and does in the monologue?
How does it differ from what s/he says and does in the monologue?
What is the style of the play?

After choosing your monologue, this will be your next step and you will want to document information about your character.
