Billy Bennett (1887-1942) was a British comedian who specialised in comic monologues. He was born into the music hall industry and, after a decorated spell in the Army during the First World War, he began his own successful stage career in 1919. Often billed as Almost a Gentleman, he shot to fame at the 1926 Royal Command Performance (now the Royal Variety Shows), and remained a popular public figure for over a decade.

The First Budget Of Burlesque Monologues is the first volume of the collected monologues that were written, performed, and broadcast by Billy Bennett during the 1920s and 1930s

3 Blue Monologues a été composé pour João Luiz Rezende Lopes. La pièce s'inspire du blues mais s'inspire de diverses influences stylistiques, notamment des techniques contrapuntiques, une tonalité étendue et des harmonies riches en effets coloristiques et en nuances. Une image de E. Munch contribue au côté « un peu bleu » de la musique.

This is a truly unique and dramatic retelling of the greatest story ever told. Whether performed as a service of worship during Lent or Holy Week or as an awe-inspiring Easter service (with the inclusion of the optional final monologue and chorus), this soul-stirring presentation will touch and enliven congregations from the most liturgical to the most contemporary of traditions. Monologues from Judas, Peter, Pontius Pilate, Simon of Cyrene, Mary, the two thieves crucified with Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and (optionally) John relate the dramatic events from their own perspective and are woven into the fabric and passion of the music. An accompaniment DVD (including all monologues) or an accompaniment CD (music only) is available, as are a Production Guide and a Sound-Effects CD for live presentations. This exciting new work is accessible technically, dramatically and musically, including parts for an SATB choir, unison children's choir, alto and tenor soloist, and nine dramatic characters.

This compelling reflection upon Jesus’ final days is viewed through His eyes and the eyes of those surrounding Him: Mary, sister of Martha; an officer to Caiaphas; Judas; Peter; Jesus Himself; Pilate; Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene; and Thomas. A sequence of dramatic, scripture-based monologues tells the story, alternating with Lloyd Larson’s masterfully inspired music as the “voice of the believer” responds. Flexibly conceived, this work may be presented as simply or as elaborately as you wish, depending upon your resources and preferences. Performance options range from use as a source of single anthems for your seasonal service needs to a short worship program with monologues and choruses or a special, fully staged production. It is our hope that this work will prompt your own reflections upon the great wonder and mystery of the Incarnate God Who, for the love of His people, humbled Himself, dying for our salvation and triumphing over death.
