The Thrill

Judith Thompson

A new play from revered playwright Judith Thompson, inspired by the life of disability rights activist Harriet McBryde Johnson. Julian is a bestselling author and fervent supporter of euthanasia. Elora, a lawyer and disability rights activist who has never walked a step in her life, is the counter-argument. So it comes as a shock, especially to Elora, when the two find themselves acutely attracted to one another.
