Dying For It by Moira Buffini

Rehearsal photos... Coming Soon ... Year Two Diploma Public Show...

Sallis Benney Theatre, Brighton. 8th - 10th April 2011.

Semyon lives in poverty, in the hallway, his mother in law has the bedroom. He can't find a job and is supported by his wife. What is he to do?

When his last hope for self-respect disappears, Semyon decides to take his own life. But word gets out and he finds himself inundated with sympathetic visitors - begging him to die on their behalf. Suddenly, he's an important man, and on the night of his proposed suicide, events spiral to a gloriously funny climax.

Inspired by Erdman's celebrated satirical comedy The Suicide this new play is freely adapted by Moira Buffini. She is best known for her brilliant comedy Dinner at the National Theatre and the West End. Her other plays include Love Play and Doomsday Girl for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and Silence at Birmingham Rep.

This production is directed by actor and director Julian Kerridge. Julian has just completed directing his first feature film Seamonsters which is released later this year.
