Simon Plays
Author: David Rosenthal
Simon Martin is coming up fast on his fiftieth birthday… and he’s a mess! …He has a job he could care less about, he’s in therapy, his last true love was twenty years ago, and he has a nagging addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine. David Rosenthal, the commercial actor, drama coach, voice-over talent, and author of Simon Pla...  more » now portrays this likeable, yet damaged, artist, Simon Martin, with all of his charm as well as his terrible foibles. Simon finds himself waking up on a city street in the middle of the night after having been knocked unconscious while on yet another bender; his wallet and watch, stolen! On his long walk back home, Simon tries to fit the many loose strands of his past into some semblance of a life that makes sense: his beginnings as an only child, growing up with alcoholic parents in Florida; his admiration for both his therapist, the insightful Dr. Berman, and his mentor, the famous clarinetist, William Cantor; his turn as a jazz player, making the San Francisco scene; his still painful feelings for his one true love, Laura Finney; and his numerous slip-ups into a world of drugs and deceit. All he’s hoping for is… one more chance to start over again!
