In 2010 Chris Larner accompanied his chronically ill ex-wife to Switzerland’s Dignitas clinic. He came home with an empty wheelchair and a story to tell.

You can hear it at The Dukes in Lancaster on October 24, following his critically acclaimed London and Edinburgh seasons.

With the contentious issue of assisted suicide constantly in the headlines, An Instinct For Kindness is a particularly relevant theatre piece.

Through a candid, poignant and sometimes comic performance, Chris explores both the profound personal implications and the wider ethical issues that surround the contentious topic of assisted suicide.

It is recommended for anyone aged 14+ and will be performed twice in The Round at The Dukes. There will be a post show talkback after the 2pm performance.
