We get a glimpse of a full life of charity, of empathy, of compassion in Hall's monologue on technology and growing old. It's beautiful, illuminating, and thought-provoking with a descriptive power that captures the kind spirit of an elderly woman. A rare role for an older actor.

"The Algorithm Chose My Last Words" is an outstanding monologue for a seasoned female actor and I smiled with joy at the climax. While it starts as a conflict between humanity and technology, it sharply refocuses into an internal understanding of what a life is. Maggie's realization and acceptance that everyday moments of supporting others are so much of our time on Earth felt like a knowing nod from Dana Hall, and I love it.
