Book NowAbout the show
My Life Is a Sonnet is a solo theatre show written and performed by Eric Daniel Weiner, presented by Eric Weiner Inc. in association with Fringe Management LLC at Space 2 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The show follows Charlie Katz, who found true love in a prep school seminar on Shakespeare's sonnets — only to let it slip away. A chance encounter later offers new hope, and the piece asks whether it is ever too late for love. Touching on dissociation, depression, and rage, the show traces Charlie's attempt to make himself vulnerable enough for genuine joy. It runs 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely moving solo show that uses Shakespeare's sonnets as both backdrop and mirror — following a man learning, perhaps too late, to stop standing in the way of his own happiness. Comic, honest, and emotionally generous.
