Artist Alex Macklin moved to the south-western desert, abandoning his easel to make monumental land art. A second major stroke renders him speechless and motionless. He is kept alive by feeding tubes and desperate fourth wife, Lia. To this remote location comes Alex’s second wife, together with his only son, who has been researching ways to end his father’s life.

What does it really mean to be alive – and how and when should life end?

Don DeLillo has received awards and nominations for over 40 prizes including the Pulitzer, PEN/Faulkner and Man Booker International Prize.

fab performances all round especially from leading actors joe McGann and the talented Josie Lawrence.A good play based around what seems like the morbid subject of death but surprisingly very funny.

FRANCIS BOURNE

Well acted and good dialogue but it did not hold my attention . The theme though possible to me was not very convincing .

Rita Bailey

First time at this charming theatre. Really enjoyed the play, held my attention throughout. The theatre is small and intimate which made you feel part of the performance on a personal level. The actors involved hit just the right note too for a difficult subject. A very pleasurable evenining for us all.

This was the first time my friend or I were visiting a theatre. Loved it.

Ellen Forester

I enjoyed it. I liked the mirror effect at the back of the stage and thought that all the actors were excellent. I hadn't seen or read the play before. I liked the way that the issues were presented through the characters in a non-didactic way. I felt that the relationships between the characters were clear.

Pity the venue subsequently advertised cheaper tickets! Also a shame I had to queue for so long. Never mind, the seat was a good one. The play was so-so, and not helped by the fact that I had to leave for some minutes because of a coughing fit. Staff were very helpful, and afterwards found me a seat at the back to watch the rest of the production - I didn't really miss much.

Keep me updated
