Smekhov said Erdman's comedy has become one of the classics of world drama because it is so funny and relevant to people in any country..
Smekhov said for its time and place, "The Suicide" was a brave, outspoken play, but it is hard to understand now why the play was considered so politically "hot," both in the Soviet Union and in the West, since it is not really a direct political attack on either the Soviet or the tsarist regime.
Smekhov said the KU production blends various genres and arts including comedy, tragedy and farce, as well as ballet, circus and even visual arts.
