Life's End Institute

 

About Vesta

Vesta is a stage play by Bryan Harnetiaux, of Spokane, Wash. It is an intimate, 90-minute drama that examines with humor and warmth an ordinary family’s struggle with end-of-life issues. Vesta addresses many end-of-life issues such as: loss of independence, economic hardship, family dynamics and caregiving.

Life's End Institute is the exclusive licensor for the rights to produce this compelling play.  It has been used by many end-of-life organizations as an educational opportunity and a way to open public dialogue about end-of-life issues.  Vesta works well as either a fully staged production or a dramatic reading.  Audience talk-back sessions after the performance provide excellent opportunities for discussing advance care planning, hospice, and caregiving issues.
