TEACH ME HOW TO DIE To Be Presented by The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company & Monli International Company LLC

The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company in collaboration with Monli International Company LLC will present TEACH ME HOW TO DIE, written by Lisa Monde, directed by Thomas R. Gordon and Lisa Monde.

"Will Professor Mirrormord be able to teach them the impossible?"

A master class in suicide note writing is being conducted by a professor of Philology - Scott Mirrormord. The group consists of six listeners - five men and a woman. Each of the participants made a decision to part with life. During the following two weeks of periodic classes, a number of events take place - both extraordinary and tragic, funny and sad...

How did their meeting with the professor influence their decision to sever all ties with life? What conclusions did professor draw for himself?

The borderline state of consciousness - is a fitting psychological term to describe what occurs to all participants of the master class. The thin edge of reality is slowly slipping away from them... They are all very different and have their own reasons, that prompted them to come to such a decision.

The play is dedicated to the very relevant issue of the present - suicide, the statistics of which is scarily increasing in the whole civilized world.

This work gives hope, and states that almost any decision to take one's own life can be reversed, and the prime cause - can be seen from a different angle.
