5.0 out of 5 stars Great for GCSE, 2 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Whose Life is it Anyway? (Heinemann Plays For 14-16+) (Hardcover)
I am studying for GCSE English Lit. and am finding it very easy to understand. It is unsentimental; so dont be worried about it being morbid, it is in fact a comedy for the most part. There are also a lot of useful questions and essay ideas at the back to help you through the dreaded coursework and get the grades you want. Its also a great book for discussion work.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not ours, 1 May 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Whose Life is it Anyway? (Heinemann Plays For 14-16+) (Hardcover)
Ken, a talented sculptor, has been left quadriplegic after a car accident. Fiercely intelligent, and determined at all costs to be allowed to die, Ken's acerbic wit and immense frustration are both projected powerfully, leaving the audience to make its own mind up as to whether or not euthanasia is something that society should allow.

Decent edition of an underrated and sorely under-performed play, with activities for students at the back.

Like any play this needs to be seen, and there is a passable film version starring Richard Dreyfuss and John Cassavetes, that while dated (it was made in the 70s) is still the best available performance of Brian Clark's stirring drama.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who's life is it anyway? by Brian Clark, 25 Mar 2003
By natalie hollins (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Brian Clark writes a play based on Euthanasia. He 'sends out' both sides of the argument about Euthanasia through his characters. Clark writes about his main character Ken Harrison on how and why he wants to die, since he had a car accident and is paralysed from his neck downwards. He makes a strong point about the case, and as you read you can see Clark's own opinions come through. At the end of the play, he leaves it upto the audience to answer the rhetorical question " Who's life is it anyway? The book carries a message: it's upto the person/patient who should decide, not the person who has more power (i.e the Doctors).

I studied this book for GCSE and the class had an excellent discussion about society, euthanasia and...whose life it is anyway!
