Not the ‘Day’: Theater goers in Eugene, Ore., apparently had little taste for a British play about assisted suicide as only about 100 people showed up for the American premiere of “Is This the Day?” Friday night. However, the evening did have its share of glitz. The play is based on a book by Derek Humphry, executive director of the National Hemlock Society, and camera crews from “Prime Time Live” and “Entertainment Tonight” showed up to record his reactions. They didn’t get much. Humphry remained stone-faced throughout the play and beat a hasty retreat afterward.
