Overview

This play for young actors, winner of several play contests, deals frankly, yet entertainingly, with one of today's most sensitive and compelling issues. Steve tells his friend Jack that he no longer wants to go on living. Suicide would make him just another statistic. So the two banter about the alternatives -- until in an awful moment of horseplay and confrontation, the playwright brings us to a stunning climax of shock and introspection.
