PUPPETRY, MATURE CONTENT, NOT FOR PEOPLE UNDER 16, GUNSHOT

CLICK TO BUY TICKETS

Mathematics: F, Geography: D, Biology: D, German: F........a disastrous report card, a frustrated single mother, a boyfriend who dumped her.....All of this is just too much for beautiful but depressed puppet-girl Luna. She is fed up with her life and determined to commit suicide. After several attempts, she faces unexpected obstacles. However, these plans do not derail her from her plan! Will she succeed....? Suicide Me! is a deeply emotional and darkly humorous one-woman puppet show for adults. It is performed with few words, using minimum decor. It invites the audience to identify with Luna's quest for liberation from the manipulative forces in her life.
