Contemporary Monologue- After Juliet

Another monologue which I looked into was the character of Benvolio Montague from the book by Sharman Macdonald - After Juliet. 
Play Synopsis- 

The play centres on Rosaline, Juliet's cousin and Romeo's ex-flame. Ironically, Rosaline had been in love with Romeo, but was playing "hard to get". Tortured by the loss of her love, Rosaline has become a sullen, venomous woman. She actively seeks to be elected the 'Princess of Cats' and run the Capulet family.

Meanwhile, the Capulets and Montagues have obeyed Prince Escalus and called a truce. The treaty quickly descends into a farce as both sides continue to rage against each other. Amid the turmoil more doomed love springs- between Benvolio Montague and Rosaline. Benvolio is warned by Valentine (Mercutio's twin brother) to stay away from her if he knows what's right.

The climax of the play comes during an election to determine whether or not Rosaline or Petruchio (Tybalt's brother) will succeed Tybalt as Prince or Princess of Cats. The election fails to have any results and the fate of the truce is left open ended.

Here's someone else doing the monologue I looked at- 

Reasons I didn't like this monologue:

• I didn't like the language 
• I feel as if it would be too similar too my classical speech 
• Published in 1999 ( looking for something published/written from 2000+)
• Reading the monologue aloud, I didn't feel as if I could make my intention clear
