The Dying Wish – Kelvin Players
October 27 - October 31
Paul has been sentenced to death, for reasons he isn’t fully certain of. Two executioners supervise, as he awaits the judgement of the attorney’s appeals, which seem to involve an increasingly complex system of bribery and a tangle of fresh accusations.
Paul has a final request, a dying wish: to play the piano.
The bureaucracy of law and the macabre absurdity of capital punishment are held up to scrutiny in this surreal and incisive black comedy, grounded by glimmers of humanity.
An original piece from Kelvin’s own Mauro Fazion, The Dying Wish is an eclectic and deeply human examination of how we cope in the face of death, uncertainty, and corruption.
