Description

"I am not afraid of dying. I am afraid of living a life I do not want to live"

Sculptor Ken Harrison’s life is changed forever after a devastating car accident leaves him paralysed from the neck down.

Confined to a hospital bed, Ken’s mind remains as sharp and vibrant as ever, but he faces an uphill battle with the medical and legal systems of the 1970s to prove he’s capable of deciding his own fate.

A powerful, thought-provoking exploration of autonomy, dignity, and the right to choose.

This fascinating and compassionate play examines the moral and legal aspects of Ken’s situation, challenging audiences to confront their own beliefs about life, death, and personal freedom.

Coming with a group? Book tickets for a party of 10 or more on the same date and enjoy a 10% discount. Please note that all tickets must be booked at the same time, as the discount cannot be applied retrospectively.
