THE SUICIDE

Semyon is down on his luck and up to his neck in debt and despair. By now it’s a matter of life and death. His death! But in Stalin’s Russia, privacy is off the agenda and a decent comrade can’t even kill himself without every Boris, Vlad and Yuri trying to get in on the act. In Stalin’s Russia nothing makes sense; it’s a madhouse run by a vicious lunatic, a nightmare from which nobody can wake up. 

 

This is a big, bright, bold production of a neglected classic squeezes hysterical laughter from the most horrific of subjects. Designed to provoke. It’s bound to offend. Bring all the folks or at least phone a friend.
