Whose Life Is It Anyway?
Whose Life is it Anyway? by Brian Clark is rightly considered by many people, as one of the finest plays written in the last quarter of the 20th century. Certainly the main character Claire is a complex, difficult yet rewarding role for any actress. She can make us laugh, and often does. She could make us cry, but doesn't want to. What she does want is to be heard and to reclaim the decisions about her own life and death. The central dilemma of this play is: Should any of us have the right to decide our own fate, even if this means the right to decide to die, rather than live a truncated and, in Claire’s view, a useless existence. I mean after all: Whose life is it anyway?
