A brilliant battle of wits takes place in this extraordinary play.

Claire Harrison, a successful sculptor, is paralyzed in a car accident and kept alive by support systems in a hospital. Outwardly, she’s cheerful and often very funny, but she’s overwhelmed by the fact that she has lost control of her own life.

As the play begins, she is coming to the decision that if she can’t live as a woman, she doesn’t want to exist as a medical achievement. Her physician, however, is utterly determined to preserve Claire’s life, regardless of its quality.

Finally despite the pleas of the doctors and her involved nurse, Claire invokes the law of habeas corpus and a judge joins the battle to determine “Whose Life Is It Anyway?“

Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.

Whose Life is it Anyway is presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
