When sculptor Ken Harrison is permanently paralysed by an accident, he resolves to die rather than live in his physically helpless state.
His struggle for the right to die makes a powerful play which raises important issues of human dignity and medical ethics. It is both witty and compassionate, thoughtful and fast-moving.
