Kurt and Sid (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

April 1994. A man sits alone in an attic extension on the cusp of becoming a Seattle suicide statistic. This man is no 'number and name' to be reported in a local newspaper. He is an icon, albeit a reluctant one. Kurt Cobain, the frontman of Nirvana, is about to pull the trigger of the gun in his hand and join the leagues of rock star deaths down the ages. Without invitation, Kurt has the curious company of a man purporting to be the Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious, Kurt's hero.

Roy Smiles' witty and beautifully poignant new play explores exactly what it means to dice with death when being alive proves to be all too painful and peace seems elusive...
