FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

Whose Life is it Anyway?

by Brian Clark
Directed by Louis Davis
12th – 19th February 1983
Furniture and equipment kindly loaned by ICI, Welwyn Garden City and Queen Victoria Hospital, Welwyn

Ken Harrison has been severely injured in a car crash and is totally paralysed; only his brain functions normally. The miracle of modern medicine is keeping him alive but he wishes to die. To do so he must discharge himself from hospital but being entirely helpless he has to gain the authorities’ consent.

The play examines the moral and legal problems thus posed and the reactions of the hospital staff. The matter is eventually laid before a judge who makes a decision.

One of the most moving, thought provoking and, at the same time, entertaining plays of our day.
