Simeon Duff is unemployed and desperate.
His wife works.
He’s lost all self esteem.
He’s on the scrap heap and wants to end it all…
When word gets out that Duff is going to top himself, a host of ne’er-do-wells crawl out of the woodwork, each wanting to claim his ‘grand gesture’ for their noble cause. Let’s face it, why waste a death? But which cause shall it be … love, politics, religion, or the rising price of fish?
Conrad Nelson (A Government Inspector, Lisa’s Sex Strike, The Canterbury Tales and Accidental Death of an Anarchist) directs a large cast of charismatic northern actor-musicians in this brilliantly insane comedy about a man on the edge. With live onstage music.
