A terrific monologue for an older actor about the brutal reality of aging and how circumstances — sometimes internal, sometimes external — can limit our potential. I loved this piece.

In “I Will Never Play Hamlet,” Smith masterfully weaves humor, nostalgia, and the bittersweet reality of aging actors. Bravo!

What a beautiful monologue. All of us have those dreams and desires to be something or be some body and for an actor I'm sure that there are so many who would have a role that was their dream role. Eric's story is one not just for those who wish to play Hamlet or be in Shakespeare or any other role on stage, Eric's monologue is for everyone who still dreams and those, we hope are for most everyone as they go through life.
