We are witness to a journey. Ed’s voice is strong. He’s quick with a joke, he sees the absurdity in his situation. It’s all good fun, and for 90 minutes we are treated to an unflinching, sweet and personal examination of a man’s experience with pain, relief, prayer and a touching reunion with his wife.
This 86-year-old actor offers a frank, and VERY FUNNY, take on men’s health in “A Man and His Prostate”
Rarely does a stage show feature an illustrated lecture on the male production system delivered by an irascible but charming octogenarian. Yet this oddity was precisely the case with “A Man and His Prostate”, a HILARIOUS 90-minute monologue about a sudden, unexpected trip to a foreign emergency room. Asner’s voice is strong as ever and unwavering, his life energy robust and strong, providing great entertainment as well as good medical advice.
Nearly a quarter of a million Americans are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year – about 27,000 die from it. Ed Weinberger’s stage play “A Man and His Prostate” isn’t just a play, but a public service. The good thing about this piece is it’s funny, but it’s (also) teaching innocent males and their female counterparts what to look for.
