A West End show
We're in London and went to see "Whose life is it anyway" yesterday afternoon at the inappropriately named Comedy Theatre. The play's about a very bright and "thinking" sculptor, who's left as a paraplegic after an accident. Although the doctors have done everything they physically can for her, she faces up to not being able to be an independent being any more and being institutionalised amongst professionals. Although we can see they care, the senior staff have to switch themselves off and put on something of a shell which provides utter frustration for Claire. She finds a small degree of solice in the refreshing attitude of the cleaners and trainee nurses but clearly she's not just going to be one to take her situation lying down. We see that develop during the latter half of the first act and come to a culmination at the end of the second ... Not my usual light-and-frothy cup of tea, but I wouldn't have missed this one. Very thought provoking. And makes one realise just how .. trivial by comparison .. so many of life's little trials are. If you're in London while the play's still on, do look for an opportunity to go and see it. (written 2005-03-20 05:52:29)
