Four souls are Marooned in a room in the afterlife. They have no connection other than they have all tried but failed to take their own lives. They don’t know how they survived but as time passes they begin to yearn to go home and fear that they won’t. A fear and a want that manifests into an insatiable hunger to live. But despite this hunger they are still Marooned.Local good news stories about suicide are rare, but this play is one of them.
His name was Guy May. When we received the dreadful news Michael saw the entire play in his head. Within two days it was written. He first showed it to me, the Wolves Producer and said, it’s a Suicide prevention play. My reaction, too heavy. But then I read it, now I’m its Producer.
In our hearts and souls suicide is a dark grey colour, even black, making it very difficult to sell, but Michael has sent these four characters into this darkness and found colours I never knew were there.
Instead of being heavy and despairing, or worse, false and preachy the play tackles this subject seriously while using some of our greatest qualities; humour under stress, empathy and courage to deliver a brave story full of hope.
