North East–based touring company Sparkle and Dark Theatre Co are taking their Edinburgh fringe hit Killing Roger on tour from April to June.
The play uses puppetry and live music to address the difficult questions around the divisive issue of assisted dying, with a story inspired by prize winning author L W Illsley’s personal experiences of Hodgkin’s disease.
Killing Roger was first produced in association with Little Angel during 2013.
