A moving and thought-provoking play set in a hospital ward. The play centres on the struggle of Ken Harrison, who has been completely paralysed in a road accident, to be allowed to choose to end his own life in a dignified manner.
The heavy subject matter was skilfully handled by the cast, in particular Mike Newvell who, in only his second appearance at the Oasthouse, spent the entire play laying in bed able only to move his head.

This production was our entry into the Kent Full-Length Play Festival.
