DYING FOR IT
Event Date: 19/11/2013, 07:30 pm
Preview Performance of this vigorous, modern black comedy
Acclaimed UK playwright Moira Buffini has turned Nikolai Erdman’s celebrated and subversive satire on Stalin’s Russia into a vigorous, modern black comedy.
Semoyan is unemployed and poor, he lives in the hall of a cramped apartment because his mother-in-law has the bedroom, and he’s fed up.
When his last hope for self-respect disappears, Semoyan decides to take his own life. But word gets out and he finds himself besieged by sympathetic visitors – all begging him to kill himself on their behalf!
However, as everyone gathers for a wild, vodka-fuelled celebration on the night of his intended demise, there’s one small problem: Semoyan is having second thoughts.
