ABOUT THE PLAY
“Suicidal Moments” is a story about Barry Douglass who was deeply stricken the moment his mother was killed and his father was paralyzed in a car accident. Despite this hardship; Barry’s older brother Vilmos became a very successful doctor, and his father, Clifford, is in good spirits after losing his wife, but Barry took a different path and ended up in prison. He comes home after serving a 7 year sentence and is still haunted by dark images of his past. Although he receives support from his family and his old schoolmate Sasha, society is slow to embrace him and his road to recovery seems endless – until the one moment that changed everything.
