A Professor of Medical Ethics and a theatre director, also mother and daughter, talk about health, illness, suffering, performance and practice. Using the lenses of ethical and performance theory, they explore what it means to be a patient, a spectator and a practitioner and cover many plays, texts and productions: Samuel Beckett’s Not I and All That Fall, Sarah Kane’s Crave, Tim Crouch’s An Oak Tree, Enda Walsh’s Ballyturk, Annie Ryan’s adaptation of Eimear McBride’s novel A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing, Duncan MacMillan’s People, Place and Things and Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. These were selected because first we have seen, studied or worked with each and they have continued to inspire us. Second, they offer rich and revealing insights into the ways in which meaning(s) is/are both negotiated and contested in relation to health and illness. It is the iterative negotiation of meaning(s) that, it is argued, is the essence of narrative practice, be it in medicine or in the theatre. The difference and divergence of perception, response and interpretation to dramatic performance can test relationships, be they professional, creative or familial. Yet, the capacity to understand, and embrace, disagreement and uncertainty is vital; fundamental to a flourishing life. For it is by recognising our part in creating narratives, broken and otherwise, that we can begin to recognise the necessary interactionism and humanity of both medicine and theatre.

医学伦理学教授和戏剧导演（也是母女）谈论健康，疾病，痛苦，表演和实践。他们使用道德和绩效理论的视角，探索成为一名患者，一名旁观者和一名执业者的含义，并涵盖许多戏剧，文字和作品：塞缪尔·贝克特的《我不是和所有秋天》，莎拉·凯恩的《渴望》，蒂姆·克鲁奇的《橡树》树，恩达·沃尔什（Enda Walsh）的巴利特克（Ballyturk），安妮·瑞安（Anne Ryan）改编的埃米尔·麦克布莱德（Eimear McBride）的小说《女孩是半成品》，邓肯·麦克米伦（Duncan MacMillan）的《人，地方和事物》以及亨利克·易卜生（Henrik Ibsen）的赫达·盖布尔。之所以选择这些产品，是因为我们首先看到，研究或合作了它们，并不断启发着我们。其次，它们提供了关于与健康和疾病相关的意义协商和争论方式的丰富而深刻的见解。有人认为，意义的迭代协商是叙事实践的本质，无论是在医学中还是在剧院中。对戏剧性表现的感知，反应和解释的差异和差异可以检验各种关系，无论它们是专业的，创造性的还是家族的。然而，理解，拥抱，分歧和不确定性的能力至关重要。繁荣生活的根本。因为正是通过认识到我们在创造破碎的或其他方面的叙事中所扮演的角色，我们才能开始认识到医学和戏剧所必需的互动性和人性。对戏剧性表现的反应和诠释可以测试各种关系，无论它们是专业，创意还是家族关系。然而，理解，拥抱，分歧和不确定性的能力至关重要。繁荣生活的根本。因为正是通过认识到我们在创造破碎的或其他方面的叙事中所扮演的角色，我们才能开始认识到医学和戏剧所必需的互动性和人性。对戏剧性表现的反应和诠释可以测试各种关系，无论它们是专业，创意还是家族关系。然而，理解，拥抱，分歧和不确定性的能力至关重要。繁荣生活的根本。因为正是通过认识到我们在创造破碎的或其他方面的叙事中所扮演的角色，我们才能开始认识到医学和戏剧所必需的互动性和人性。
