Zurich: A Play in Fifteen Scenes

Margot Crossland is fifty-two years old, terminally ill, and entirely certain about what she is doing. She has flown alone from Ohio to a death clinic in Zurich to end her life on her own terms, before the disease takes that choice away from her. She arrived with everything settled. She never expected to change her mind. Inside the clinic, questions she thought she had buried begin to surface: questions about hope, about love, about what lies on the other side of the door she is about to open. Now she finds herself face to face with the one question she never thought to ask. Is this really dignity? Or is it a beautifully packaged lie? Spare, serious, and quietly devastating, ZURICH is a full-length stage play in fifteen scenes, a play about dying well and about what it means to be fully alive.
