Another Rainy Thursday

An exploration of the debate around assisted dying in the UK. (30 minutes)

Another Rainy Thursday follows Emma as she approaches the end of her life, where differing opinions, personal beliefs and family relationships shape the conversations surrounding her care and future. Exploring the sensitive subject of assisted dying with honesty, compassion and humanity, the production invites audiences to consider the emotional, ethical and practical questions that arise when individuals and families face difficult decisions.

Balancing heartfelt storytelling with moments of humour, Another Rainy Thursday creates a safe and respectful space for audiences to reflect on end-of-life choices, family dynamics and the importance of compassionate communication. Rather than offering answers, the performance encourages open dialogue, thoughtful reflection and a deeper understanding of the different perspectives surrounding this complex issue.
