The Suicide
Nikolai Erdman
Suicide, The (Nelson)
by Richard Nelson, Nikolai Erdman
Synopsis
"More than a half a century ago, Russian playwright Nikolai Erdman came up with a comic cure for political headaches: THE SUICIDE.
It gave Joseph Stalin a pain and Erdman got twenty years in a Siberian work camp.
But a strikingly American adaptation of Erdman's political farce is proving just the pill for election-year depression.
Playwright Richard Nelson's rollicking, larger-than-life adaptation of the 1920s Russian script explodes with laughter."Jack Lesar, U P I
