The play explores stories of three generations of women. Their lives play out simultaneously – staging periods from the 1970s, 2000s, and 2030s. It explores their complex inner states via their emotional, intellectual, and physical devastation.

 

Inclusivity Statement:  Anatomy of a Suicide  by Alice Birch depicts three generations of women in a family, staging periods from the 1970s, 1990s, and 2030s. As their lives play out simultaneously onstage, the play looks closely at generational trauma and suicide. This storytelling is an exploration of their complex emotional, intellectual, and physical devastation.  Anatomy of a Suicide  allows diverse and inclusive casting.
