It's been a tough week at work. Profits are down, lawsuits are up, and you totally forgot to bring something to the staff potluck. But none of that is even a minor concern compared to this: your boss is onto you. He's begun to suspect the truth, that you're trying to ruin the company by keeping its clients alive. Nominated for the New Voices in American Playwriting Award and following successful staged readings at Steppenwolf and Victory Gardens Theaters, SUICIDE, INCORPORATED receives its world premiere production at the Gift.

“Four Stars”
      -Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“Under Jonathan Berry’s razor-sharp direction (enhanced by Dan Stratton’s cleverly minimalist set), Hinderaker’s cannily imagined 90-minute play moves like wildfire.”
      -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

“This is a hugely exciting new play and I’d say that Thornton is doing the best work of his career. It is a stunning piece of acting and it is not to be missed.”
      -Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

Hinderaker is a talented, entertaining, canny playwright who handles the narrative aspects of the play with great finesse…”
      -Tony Adler, Chicago Reader

“It (Suicide, Incorporated) is one of the best plays of 2010.”
      -Tom Williams, ChicagoCritic.com

Thornton…is pure magic here. The man is an absolutely sensational actor, capable of turning pathos to comedy in the flash of an eye.”
      -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

Four Stars. Josh Rollins, as sensitive double-agent Jason, navigates desolation with brutal intelligence and empathy...”
      -Caitlin Montayhne Parrish, TimeOut Chicago
