Performance - Hope I Die Before I Get Old

It is Sherlock Holmes’s last case.

A poet lies dead in a Moscow apartment in the cold spring of 1930. Everyone knows who killed Vladimir Mayakovsky, the bard of the Russian revolution. The poet shot himself through the heart that April morning. No one knows why he did it. The Soviet authorities have brought in Sherlock Holmes to answer that question.

But only Mayakovsky himself can really solve the mystery. Resurrected and forced to relive his life backwards, the poet delves into his past to figure out why he ultimately pulled the trigger.

Hope I Die Before I Get Old, written and performed by John Feffer, brings together the famous detective and infamous poet in a solo show that probes the mysteries of creativity and political collaboration.
