Is it ever justifiable to take the life of another human being? Under what circumstances?
The Glas Nocturne asks this and other challenging questions without leading us to any easy answers.
In preparation for their attendance at APL’s latest world-premiere, we asked our audience to share their thoughts about these questions. From now through the end of the run, we will share their responses with you.
Join the conversation at #WouldYouDoIt? on Facebook or Twitter — or follow Would You Do It? on Storify.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject, too!
