The world of theatre encompasses every issue under the sun; from war to small town drama, from orphans to puppets, theatre has seen it all.

Musicals such as NEXT TO NORMAL and HEATHERS take very different approaches to the subject of our own mortality, and there are a myriad of plays that attempt to tackle the issue.
