In November 2010, Chris Larner accompanied his chronically ill ex-wife to Switzerland’s Dignitas clinic.
He came home with an empty wheelchair and a story to tell. This moving, bittersweet show reflects on the circumstances, morality and humanity surrounding the journey.
In a candid, poignant and sometimes comic performance, Chris explores both the profound personal implications and the wider ethical considerations surrounding the contentious issue of assisted dying.
The show was one of the major success stories of last summer's Edinburgh Festival, where it won the coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award as well as being featured on BBC Newsnight Review as a highlight of the festival.

Selby Town Hall is an award winning arts centre, located in a prominent position at the end of Selby's main street, Gowthorpe. The intimate venue, with a seating capacity of 150, hosts world class performances from across a range of art forms including theatre, music, dance and comedy.
Built as a Methodist chapel in 1862, the venue ceased operating as a place of worship in August 1956. For several years following it was used as a tyre depot, but the building was eventually left derelict and fell into disrepair in the late 80s. In 1992, Selby Town Council bought and renovated the premises which now houses the Town Council offices as well as the main performance space and a smaller studio room.
