Play: Embarrassment and Death

Brilliant and fascinating monologue about the actor's childhood in the 50's
(?). He really captured the spirit and mannerisms of 10 year-old boys. At
first I was concerned it was going to be an hour of some old dude reminiscing
about his childhood, which might turn off a 20 or 30-something year- old
crowd, but his delivery was so entertaining, it was timeless. If you enjoy
seeing extremely talented monologists, check out this show.

A finely crafted view of what it's like to grow up a boy in the midwest.
The events of hid story dovetail into each other seamlessly anmd Henegar's
style is warm, downhome. I left feeling like I'd grown up next door to him.
I was reminded how there's no dearth of embarrassments or death, even in
childhood. This original piece is well worth seeing! |
