Love-Lies-Bleeding

Play written by Don DeLillo.

The Gods have equipped DeLillo with the antennae of a visionary - Martin Amis

"A moving yet unnervingly funny story about a family trying to take death into their own hands, from the author of White Noise and Underworld.

With pathos, characteristic DeLillo humour and piercing insight, Love-Lies-Bleeding revolves around the life of artist Alex Macklin. Set in the sprawling American desert at the frontier between the man-made and the wilderness, where he intends to make land art but is rendered helpless by a second major stroke, and kept alive by feeding tubes and his desperate fourth wife. His second wife and his only son, who has been researching ways to end his father's life, arrive to decide his fate."
