Product Information

In the ponderous drama HEROSTRATUS, a disillusioned poet decides that he has had enough of life and begins to plan his suicide. Rather than go quietly, he decides to make a 'statement' by turning it into a media circus. He heads straight for a public relations company and tells them that he is famous and from a wealthy family. A little investigation reveals that he is not only poor, but also a lousy writer. Still, news is news and they agree to publicise his death. Unfortunately, on the appointed day, the poet finds someone waiting for him on the roof top. This person tries to convince the poet not to jump. A struggle ensues and the helpful fellow falls to his death. Later the poet runs wildly through the streets into the distance.
