'Suicide-Anyone?' at Primary Stages Theatre

Livin' Large Productions presents Suicide-Anyone?, by John Patrick, at the Primary Stages Theatre from the 5 - 16 Oct 2005.

Suicide-Anyone? consists of three Comedic One-Acts about desperate people who see suicide (or the attempt thereof) as a way to solve their problems. People who, in the end, just may learn a thing or two about how important life is worth living.

'Loyalty' is about a bickering married couple and their neighbor who just wants to get some sleep, 'Empathy' is about a young, unemployed actress who can't find time alone to end it all, and Confession is about two feuding male lovers and their 'worldly' female neighbor with a novel idea and a bottle of pills.

The cast for Suicide-Anyone? is directed by Jeffrey Davolt, and features George Antonopoulos, Victor Barbella, Gregory Patrick Jackson, Lara Anne Slife.

The production has set design by Floyd Gumble and lighting by Jason Teague.

Among playwright John Patrick's (1905-1995) better known stage works are The Hasty Heart (1945) and Teahouse of the August Moon (1953), which won a Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Other plays include Hell Freezes Over (1935), The Willow and I (1942) and The Curious Savage (1950).
