THE UNDERSTUDY

by Paul Smith

Malcolm has been the permanent understudy for the great actor Sir Giles Ross, but he has never taken to the stage. And he is bitter about it! How can he find a way to make Sir Giles miss just one performance!

    Poor Malcolm spends his sad life desiring only one thing. A thing he will never have. This darkly comic monologue treats us to years of his frustration in rich detail. It's quite brilliant really.

    Paul Smith is truly a brilliant writer. This monologue, written in verse, with clever interior rhyming, is a joy to read! No doubt it would be a joy to perform for an actor or witness from the audience.
