Paul Shearman is impressive as a forceful Shakespearean actor confronting the inevitable ageing process and loss of identity. Absolutely worth seeing this Fringe!

Excellent. The performance is so good, Paul Shearman transports you from Shakespeare to real life brilliantly and heart breakingly.

Commanding stage presence from beginning to end. A treat to experience

Our attention was focussed on Paul Shearman for every minute of his performance. Riveting, poignant, reflective, sobering, pertinent acknowledgement of intergenerational dynamics. Pleased to recognize the Bard’s lines!, but it’s time now to refocus on his works and to read King Lear! Elizabeth and Neil

A wonderfully acted and poignant one-hander about an aging Shakespearian actor who is auditioning for the role of King Lear whilst battling the earliest stages of dementia. Nice nods to other Shakespeare plays throughout. Tucked away in a small theatre within the Star venue, this is a true hidden gem that deserves attention from drama-lovers.

A solo artist who delivers an emotional performance of an aging actor who is losing words. Beautiful words, delivered with passion. Thoughtful & thought provoking.
