Richard Watts is joined by writer, screenwriter, and broadcaster Benjamin Law to discuss Dying: A Memoir. Dying: A Memoir is Ben's second play, an adaptation of author Cory Taylor’s memoir about being diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Ben discusses the motivations behind adapting his friend's novel for the stage, the act of dying and the act of farewells, and the decision to cast an actor with a lived experience with cancer in the lead role.
Dying: A Memoir is showing at Melbourne Theatre Company unil 29 November 2025.
