This is a wonderful play that deals very sensitively with the topic of euthanasia. It has 2 settings - a courtroom and a wealthy home. I directed this play in a community thaetre and it was very successful. Recommended

Jeffrey Archer is good at writing short stories as well as lengthly fictions. In this book he has put his talent into another format : a drama. The story is simple - about the love between an old couple. Actually there is another short story on the same theme by Mr Archer which I have read before and liked better. In this 'love story' there was a couple who had been married for years and knew that they had chosen the right spouse. What happened when death came to part one from the other ? Did the husband commit mercy killing for the wife who was terminally ill ? The dialogues of this courtroom drama were beautifully written. If there is any teacher of English who happens to see this review, I recommend it as teaching material to demonstrate how modern English should be written : concise, precise, simple and effective.
