The laugh-out-loud comedy that has the distinction of being one of the most produced and award-winning one act plays in the past thirty years.
This award-winning play begins dramatically when a depressed Peter crawls out onto a ledge prepared to jump. There he meets J.M., a professional suicide counselor who instead of trying to save Peter, wants to sell him suicide lessons…like—how to obtain a crowd, how to build tension, how to obtain television coverage and, finally, when and how to jump. Just when Peter is about to buy those lessons, a rival suicide counselor appears and reveals J.M. is a bust as a suicide counsellor with a horrible reputation. Now J.M. is depressed and wants to jump off of Peter’s ledge. At this point, Peter asserts himself, decides nobody is jumping off a ledge today, Llife has too much to offer to end it over just a couple of bad days.
