Whose Life is it Anyway?

by Brian Clark

When sculptor Ken Harrison is permanently paralyzed by an accident, he is unwilling to concede to a life of physical helplessness and embarks on a struggle for the right to be allowed to die. Brian Clark's witty and compassionate play, Whose Life Is It Anyway?, raises issues of human dignity and medical ethics that are every bit as relevant today as they ever were.
