The Suicide

I used to work in PR, if youre going to kill yourself lets make it an event . . . You can own this, Sam. For the first time in your life you. Could be. In charge. Things are getting tough for Sam. No job, benefits stopped and stuck in a tiny flat with his girlfriend Maya and her mum. The pressure is building. It feels like there might be only one way out. But every ending is a beginning and there are plenty of people keen to capitalise on Sams momentous decision. From corrupt local politicians to kids trying to raise the number of views of their online videos, everyone wants a piece of Sams demise. It scarcely matters what Sam actually wants. Faced with the promise of immortality, whats his life worth? Suhayla El-Bushra takes the satiric masterpiece by Nikolai Erdman and smashes it into contemporary urban Britain. Its provocative, fast-paced and very funny.
