Grabbing The Hammer Lane: A Trucker NarrativeMills Hardware
David M. Proctor gives a spellbinding performance as a grown son and his father navigating the recollections and old hurts of their relationship. What starts with the humorous bantering of a trucker in a therapy session gradually reveals a tale of identity, memory, family, choices, and regret.
Proctor’s voice is rich and magnetic, easily enthralling the audience with a story that gradually reveals its true emotional gravity. His ability to embody younger son and older father has an amazing physical authenticity, and his characterization of each man comes across as true-to-life and fully formed. Proctor populates the stage with a number of unseen scene partners (a therapist, various relatives), with the exceptional timing and commitment he gives to his one-sided conversations.
