Whose Life is it Anyway?

Four performances 29th September to 1st October 2005

Award-winning drama.

Directed by Bob Jones

Director's Introduction

Leighton Buzzard Drama Group will stage the modern version of Brian Clark's award-winning play, giving four performances (including a Saturday matinee) on Thursday 29th September, Friday 30th September and Saturday 1st October 2005.

The play explores the medical and moral debate surrounding the case of a tetraplegic hospital patient, an intelligent and gifted sculptor, who, presented with no possibility of recovery, wishes to have the choice whether or not to continue living. It places the individual and the audience at the centre of one of the most complex issues of our time.

NODA Award

Bob Jones directed the LBDG Autumn 2004 production of 'The Killing of Sister George' by Frank Marcus.

Auditions

Open auditions were held at the Trinity Methodist Hall on Monday 4th July at 8pm. The director would like to thank everyone who has expressed a wish to be part of the production. Casting is never an easy process but was particularly challenging in this instance due to the high level of interest and the large number of possible permutations. "I am grateful for the tremendous support and enthusiasm already apparent for the show", says Bob Jones.
