A Funny, Touching, Warm, Informative, Frank, Inspiring, Entertaining Play about ... Prostate Cancer?!
Yes, that's right - an amazing play about prostate cancer.
Award-winning playwright Jeff Metcalf has written a remarkably honest- and outrageously funny - play about his experience with prostate cancer. This one man play, based on his journals, follows Jeff's journey from diagnosis through his life surviving the disease. "I'm here because of closet space, ritual and humor," says Metcalf.
A Slight Discomfort is about living - really living. Its universal themes and appeal are not limited to men. As one female audience member put it, "I have a prostate - I've been married to the same man for 20 years!"
It explores the shared experience of being human and dealing with a crisis with grace and humor.
A Slight Discomfort takes us from laughter to tears, from blushing to bravo, from thought to action, from tragedy to triumph.
For 71 minutes, superb actor Paul Kiernan is Jeff Metcalf. His portrayal makes women want to hug him and men want to have a beer with him. He is everyman.
The beginning of a ‘Wild and Crazy’ Mitchell, South Dakota night!
Thank you to everyone that came out to the ASRT conference to see the play. It was a full house with over 2,000 doctors, survivors and audience members making it one of our best shows yet! If you missed this show don’t worry there are plenty more performances coming up this year.
