“Could you Kill Someone Billy? I mean really, could you? What if they asked you to?”
Provocative. Moving. Beautiful. Following the success of 5 star runs in London and Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013, Killing Roger comes to Greenwich Theatre as part of a national tour. Using stunning life-sized puppetry and original live music, this new play raises one of the most important questions of our generation in a moving and humorous tale of an old man and a boy at opposite end of their lives.
As the memories of Roger’s life unfold before us, Billy’s troubled mind faces an unexpected question. Can the boy become a man and make a decision that will change both of their lives forever?
There will be a panel discussion on assisted dying at 5.30pm on Tuesday 17 June, led by experts in ethics, law, and politics and free to anyone with a ticket to either performance of Killing Roger.
“Extraordinary… something both magnificent and terrible: an uncompromising, visceral representation of what assisted dying actually means”
