A disarmingly funny look at disability and the lives built around it at the Park Theatre, in a production that's been much-trumpeted for seeing Greg Wise return to the stage for the first time in 17 years. Coincidentally, that's the same amount of time his character in
Kill Me Now has dedicated his life to a single purpose: Widower Jake published one successful novel, but has since been making ends meet teaching creative writing courses, putting most of his energies into caring for severely disabled son Joey (Oliver Gomm.) He's had a small amount of help from social services, and once a week his sister Twyla (Charlotte Harwood) takes over so he can have a night off, but he can see himself as his son's primary carer for some time to come. A spinal disease sees him prematurely aged though, and suddenly contemplating an uncertain future for both of them.
