Friday February 18, 2011 - Saturday February 26, 2011
Theatre South Carolina will present the once-banned and rarely-performed Russian farce The Suicide as the third in its main stage series February 18-26 at Longstreet Theatre. The farcical play takes us into the downtrodden existence of Semyon, an out-of-work tubist at the end of his proverbial rope. When his wife confides to a neighbor that he may be considering suicide (he isn’t), interested locals, each representing a different facet of society (the intelligentsia, the bourgeoisie, et al.) begin trying to make him a martyr for their own pet causes. He might be worth more dead than alive, but to whom? Details here.
