Inspired by the true Canadian story of a Saskatchewan farmer and his daughter, Emil Sher’s new play explores the dilemma faced by the father of a severely disabled teenage girl, whose fate is about to be taken over by the medical establishment.
Can their best efforts ever relieve her constant pain? Or should her father pursue another, final alternative? So who gets to play God?
A stunning theatrical piece in which assuming a loved one’s best interests leads to an entire family’s loss.
