Directed by Stef O’Driscoll
“My mother always said to Live Big. Live as much as I could.”
Three generations of women. Three stories played out in unison. One powerful, unflinching look at a family afflicted with severe depression and mental illness.
For each, the chaos of what has come before brings with it a painful legacy, which will reverberate through time and leave a lasting impact for generations to come.
Performed by final-year BA Acting students, Anatomy of a Suicide questions what we inherit, what we pass on, and how to make sense of our lives in the days in-between.
