Tolstoy Tried to Kill my Girlfriend is a light hearted play examining the relationship between the author and their characters. Funny and poignant by turns, the play tells the story of Deacon James, as he wakes up in a strange place, only to be confronted by the main character from his novel, who doesn’t like the way her story is going! Later he meets his hero, Tolstoy, and Virginia Woolf, among others!
