Dying For It by Moira Buffini (freely adapted from Nikolai Erdman’s The Suicide) Tuesday 21 October to Saturday 8 November 2014 Semyon is unemployed and lives in the hallway of an urban slum in 1920s Soviet Russia. By his own admission, he is a maggot, not a man, and decides to end his miserable life. Word quickly spreads and his comrades come running to his side… each intent on persuading him to die for their cause. Will he die for truth? For love? For God? For art? Or will he die on his own terms? Join us for this satirical, bitterly funny and tragic farce, originally written in 1929, but banned by Stalin before its first dress rehearsal. Adapted by Moira Buffini, writer of the 2014 Oliver Award winner, Handbagged. …the bullet you shoot through your brain will be heard through all Russia. Cast: Anjali Bhat, Jon Bradshaw, Roger Carvalho, Elaine Harry, Phil Hatchard, David Hemsted, Anita Karklina, Karina Knapinska, Darren Latham, Mark Lisseman, Jonathon Marx, Gosia Roska, Zeynep Sandi.
