A new play exploring the moral complexities of assisted dying
We want this story to serve as a springboard toward a debate… in the long term we would hope for this debate to lead to a rethink of what these laws are and who they represent. This is not about preaching to the converted or finding a consensus.
Vicky, SilverSage founder member
The compelling and thought-provoking story of a woman drawn into assisting the suicide of an elderly lady she cared for – leading to her being tried for murder. Based on true events in Camden in the 1980s, this story of a woman’s journey and the promise she made has been pieced together from meticulous background research.
A difficult and controversial subject, touching on universal topics: collusion, helplessness and isolation – important locally, but also socially and politically, the story serves as a springboard toward a debate.

Where: New Diorama Theatre, 15–16 Triton Street, Regent's Place, London, NW1 3BF
