The full quote -
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful Ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. The speech is by Jaques (pronounced 'jay-kees' or 'jay-kweez') and is from Shakespeare's As You Like It - Act II, scene vii.

"The Sandbox" by Edward Albee is a one-act play that follows the story of an elderly woman, referred to as Mommy, who is taken to a beach by her family to spend her final moments. The play satirizes the American family dynamics and society's treatment of the elderly, with dark humor and surreal elements. Mommy ultimately dies alone in the sandbox, symbolizing the detachment and emotional disconnect prevalent in modern society.
