Literary Suicide

A Play by Louise E Hollamby

Literary Suicide Play Poster

Four dead heroines. One existential crisis.

Trapped by an abusive mentor who holds her future in his hands, Diana invites four unexpected guests into her study: Hedda Gabler, Emma Bovary, Edna Pontellier and Ophelia. Bursting off the page against the backdrop of receding women's rights, these canonical heroines stage a brilliantly chaotic intervention in a razor-sharp dark comedy about institutional hypocrisy, generational traps and the hope of changing the ending.
