 Mick Gordon and Marie de Hennezel Inspired by Intimate Death by Marie de Hennezel Premiered Gate Theatre London 2005 CAN THE DYING TEACH US HOW TO LIVE? Inspired by the experiences of psychologist and palliative care-worker Marie de Hennezel, we accompany people towards death. Characters explain to us the nature of their desease and share their final thoughts and actions. Utterly beautiful. REVIEW: Approaches to death vary, but the common thread is that we, the living, should be grateful to the dying for their lessons, and above all that a kind of permission to die is required that we pay them respect of not holding on. Gordon's simple, affecting production does due honour to both de Hennezel's work and its subject, and will resonate profoundly with anyone who has ever felt the bereavement, less of a death than of a dying...
