Mercy Killers

I saw the performance of  “Mercy Killers” this afternoon.  It is a very emotional story of a man who relates all that happened when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.   That would be a traumatic situation in itself, but the strain is incredible when the family is faced with incredible financial issues.  The play was written and performed by Michael Milligan.  He does an outstanding job in both categories. Afterwards he gave some background on how he came to write the play.  Mr. Milligan said that we have the statistics and data on what happens in these instances, but this is to portray the ‘psychological damage to our national psyche” as a result of our current access to health care.  There is a benefit performance at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater on Thursday.  I highly recommend this.
