Synopsis
Whose Life is it Anyway? was originally written for television in 1972 but it took author Brian Clark six years to find a West-End theatre management brave enough to risk presenting a play in which the central character is a tetraplegic faced with a future of total dependence on a life-support machine. The dilemma posed of a medical profession committed to save life on the one hand, and an individual claiming the right to make his own decisions about his life on the other, is one that has struck a chord deep in the public imagination. It was a smash hit in the West End and on Broadway winning several awards and a film version followed. (Cast 9m, 4f)
Brian Clark has revised Whose Life is it Anyway? for a major West End revival in 2005 changing the central role from male to female. It will star Kim Cattral (Samantha in TV’s Sex and the City) and be directed by Peter Hall.
