Dying for It
By Moira Buffini
Date: 8 - 12 Apr 2025
Time: 20:00 - 22:00
Location: SLT Old Fire Station
Dying For It is a wildly entertaining and thought-provoking story about one man’s journey to find meaning in a world that seems determined to crush him.
A sharply comic tale of despair, hope, and absurdity set in Soviet Russia, the story centres on Semyon, a down-on-his-luck, unemployed man who decides he has nothing left to live for. As various parties seek to make his suicide about their cause, his crisis spirals into an absurd public spectacle and he begins to question whether his life - or death - has more value than he imagined.
