Full casting has been announced for Roundtable Ensemble’s production of Robert Ross Parker’s Goodbye Cruel World, a new adaptation of Nikolai Erdman’s black comedy The Suicide, to run January 14-February 6 at the ArcLight Theater.

The play, to be directed by Parker, focuses on Semoyan Semyonavich, an unemployed, impoverished young man who discovers the joy of life only when he decides to kill himself.

The company will feature Paco Tolson as Semoyan, along with Cindy Cheung, Curran Connor, William Jackson Harper, Tami Stronach, and Aaron Roman Weiner. The creative team will include Nick Francone (scenic and lighting design), Theresa Squire and Antonia Ford-Roberts (costume design), and Shane Rettig (sound design).
