Derek – 50s
The monologue could equally played by any gender.
REVIEW
‘Brilliant monologue and one that tugs at the emotions so much. It starts off so deceptively simple that you are lulled into a place of calm and willingness to follow along with Derek in his ramblings but then half-way through you start to think about phrases and words that you don’t like and that cause you pain and that alter your life and way of being no matter how hard you try to avoid hearing them or thinking of them or using them. Smith offers up just one take on this word and leaves us breathless.’ – Lee R Lawing on New Play Exchange
