The actor diagnosed with Alzheimer's who is now leading a solo show

Actor Peter Marinker was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, but continues to lead a solo show in London. He will perform alone, on a stage in the British capital, one of Samuel Beckett's most famous plays. The performance marks a singular moment in the actor's career, who decided to continue working even after the diagnosis of the neurodegenerative disease. The solo show allows Marinker to carry forward his theatrical talent in a performance that demands concentration and memory, even greater challenges given Alzheimer's. Beckett's play, one of the most well-known works of the Irish playwright, will be presented without the presence of other actors on stage, placing all the dramatic responsibility on Marinker's shoulders.
