Suicide: An Original Stage Play

“If you realize what we idolize its suicide.”
No matter how you put it, the word suicide means the action of killing oneself intentionally.
The original stage play “Suicide” written and directed by Tai French, takes you on a journey you can relate to one way or another.
Amidst self destruction, love, hate, jealousy, betrayal and passion, “Suicide” evokes every emotion that keeps you wanting more. You may or may not identify with the characters fully but we all have made decisions that we weren’t proud of and often wish we can take it back.
With sharp and witty characters such as the main character, Phoenix whose trails and tribulations take her on a ride that sometimes seem like she will never get off.  Her brother Lawrence, who is hard on her because he only wants the best for her. Sooth talking Avery, who thinks he has it all together but leaves a path of destruction in his wake that someday might catch up to him. The best friend Adina, who is blinded by her own agenda. And the conductor of it all Humphrey Sigel, who you don’t quite know is on the good or the evil side.
With poetry, spoken word, singing and great acting, the characters are so believable that you are at the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. And in a strange way you either love or hate them.

Suicide starring Egbert Bernard and Tai French will be playing at  Victory Theater Center: 3326 W. Victory Blvd. Burbank .
Dates are: March 24th 25th, 31st and April 1st, 7th and 8th
