Smoker
JMTC Theatre—School of Contemporary Dancers
Brader tells a good story, both engaging and captivating, which is why this one hit close to home for me. I quit smoking over two decades ago and I still remember every moment in vivid detail ushered through this saga. Quitting smoking was one of my life’s greatest ordeals and every gripping moment reminded me of that tumultuous time. I never regarded smoking as a friend or a great lover but this lens sure gives the never-smoked a glimpse into what nicotine addiction is.
I also share the abusive childhood, thus establishing another bond with Brader’s tale. Thanks a lot for making me relive two of the most difficult phases of my life Bob.
Seriously, if you smoke, or used to smoke, you will live everything here. If you’ve never smoked, you share a slice of the insidious evil of this affliction. If you get there early, you’ll guffaw at the ridiculous advertisements of yesteryear. If you need to rush to a show afterwards, beware that Smoker runs a bit overtime.
