“Everyone throughout their life feels some kind of regret eventually. It’s how we choose to live -do we cling to happiness when it passes by or do we brood upon the things that we should have done differently? Who knows?
We all begin our lives in the middle with answerless questions: What’s before birth? What is after death? We do not know these answers because (if you’re reading this) then you’re not dead, and can anyone remember before their birth? Our lives and thoughts are only half of the story -what is the rest? What is beyond ‘us’? What is past death? If anything? This thought terrifies me”.
Timor mortis conturbat me yet excites me in equal splendour.
Samuel’s Head on my Table by Leicester playwright Declan Keen opened at the Lakeside Arts Centre, Nottingham, on Wednesday 24th August 05 as part of the 2005 edition of the Momentum Festival.
