The Suicide

"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
