Set in a lecture theatre where three dying people are giving a formal presentation to a conference audience. Based on research in a hospice, it examines the hospice philosophy and community attitudes to death and dying through the eyes of the patients, their relatives and those who care for them professionally. The play is stylised and based upon image rather than conventional narrative and despite the weighty subject matter it is warm, funny and never morbid.
