Life support
de Simon Gray
'Life support' is set in a London hospital room where Gwen Golding lies unconscious, on a life-support machine. Her husband Jeff is a writer: they were on a trip in Guadeloupe when Gwen was stung by a bee and collapsed. Technically she is still alive. The young doctor is a master of the meaninglessly upbeat bedside chat, full of wise saws and the latest instances of miraculous recovery. The awesome air of clinical efficiency and noncommittal optimism cannot hide the fact that nobody knows what to do or what to expect. 'Life Support' was premiered at London's Aldwych Theatre in August 1997.
