Whose Life Is It Anyway?, Brian ClarkWhose Life Is It Anyway? is a play by Brian Clark adapted from his 1972 television play of the same title, which starred Ian McShane. The stage version premiered in 1978 at the Mermaid Theatre in London, and subsequently opened on Broadway in 1979. The play involves a sculptor who is paralyzed. Set in a hospital room, the action revolves around Ken Harrison (Claire Harrison in some later productions), a sculptor by profession, who was paralyzed from the neck down (quadriplegia) in a car accident and is determined to be allowed to die. Brian Clark presents arguments both in favor of and opposing euthanasia and to what extent government should be allowed to interfere in the life of a private citizen. In portraying Ken as an intelligent man with a useless body, he leaves the audience with conflicting feelings about his desire to end his life.تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز چهارم ماه اکتبر سال 2008 میلادیعنوان: بالاخره این زندگی مال کیه؟؛ نویسنده: برایان کلارک؛ مترجم: احمد کسایی پور؛ تهران، کارنامه، 1385؛ در 132 ص؛ شابک 9644310667؛ موضوع: نمایشنامه های نویسندگان انگلیسی - سده 20 مبالاخره این زندگی مال کیه؟ درباره ی حق گزینش است، که والاترین حق نیز همانا حق انتخاب حیات و تداوم آن است. «برایان کلارک» بر آن است تا در مرکز ثقل نمایش، یک قطع نخاعی را قرار بدهد، که او هیچ حق انتخابی ندارد، بلکه بیمارستان است که باید برایش تصمیم بگیرد، بیمار هم باید تابع همان تصمیم باشد...؛ ا. شربیانی
