// ‘I think I found it easier knowing I was going to die’
‘Bathtub Oncology’ is a dark comedy written by Max Raeburn and produced by Haddock Theatre about family, finality, and failing organs. What does it mean to be terminal in a world where health is commdified?
I based the design off of Ken Curie’s ‘Three Oncologists’. Shadowy figures bathe behind butcher curtatains. The shapes of family and doctors blur together. It becomes increasingly diffifcult to discern the line between reality and nightmare.
