Synopsis

Graham's lost his job. He's lost his home. He's lost his girlfriend. And he's about to find out that killing himself is definitely not the easy option. For a start he's got to get two minutes to himself. Then he's got Death to cope with ... An upbeat black comedy about the reasons why we don't give up on life. Very easily staged.
