Ken is funny, successful and smart. And he wants to die. Left paralyzed after a car accident and dependent on
medical support systems, he is disinclined to wallow among beeping, sanitized hospital equipment. Ken chooses
death. The rub, in this particular case, is that he’s not allowed to. This is the story of Whose Life Is It Anyway?,
which opens Friday at the Very Little Theater. For VLT director Cindy Solari, the plot line of this play is more than
just speculation. “I am a dialysis patient in end-stage renal failure due to a rare disease called vasculitis,” Solari
explains. This production marks Solari’s return to theater after a 6-year absence following her diagnosis. “There
are many ways I relate with the character of Ken,” she says. “We would both die if we stop treatment. The battle
we face is sobering and extremely hard. And we both use humor to help others cope with it, and fight for our right
to make decisions about our care.” Solari says she hopes that beyond entertaining audiences, this production will
encourage awareness.
Whose Life is it Anyway? runs July 1-10 at Very Little Theatre, 2350 Hilyard St.; $12, for tickets and times, visit
thevlt.com or call 541-344-7751. — Anna Grace
