Description
Dying For It by Moira Buffini is a darkly comedic adaptation of Nikolai Erdman's banned play The Suicide. When Semyon, a disheartened and unemployed man, decides to end his life, he finds himself at the centre of a party where several people would rather see him dead. As the night unfolds, a series of unexpected events leads to a glorious climax. This bold reworking of Erdman's original work premiered at the Almeida Theatre in London in March 2007 and has since been performed by various theatre companies. With its unique blend of satire and humour, Dying For It is a thought-provoking exploration of human nature and the absurdities of life.
