“That’s God’s job. To sort things out.”
“And we’re supposed to stand back and watch him sort?”
Inspired by the Robert Latimer story, this challenging work explores the dilemma faced by a Saskatchewan farm couple whose teenage daughter is wracked by severe and unremitting pain. Can the doctors’ best efforts relieve her suffering? Or should her father pursue another, final alternative? Who gets to play God? A complex play that confounds easy sentimentality with bracing humour, even in the face of great suffering.
“Achingly relevant... Rooted in the unfathomable complexities of our times. Whatever views you may hold on mercy killing, it would be impossible not to be moved.” The Globe & Mail
