Immortality - Paperback

by David Fairhurst (Author)

It's humanity's greatest open secret: that death will take every last one of us.* But one desperate procrastinator-a 40-year-old would-be writer faced with his embarrassing lack of accomplishment-decides there's got to be a loophole. And he's going to find it if it kills him.

This thought-provoking one-man comedy of existential dread was an official selection of the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival.

"Wonderfully entertaining... richly and darkly comic." (NYTheatre.com)

"Recalls Woody Allen... and the hangdog wryness of Bill Murray." (Backstage)

Plus an added bonus: the original screenplay that inspired it, a 1993 semifinalist for the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Nicholl Fellowship.
