Comedy Poses Serious Question: Who Is The Bigger Victim After A Suicide?

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — "Designing Women" star Annie Potts heads the cast of "AfterMath," a provocative new comedy drama that asks a serious question.

After someone commits suicide, who is the bigger victim...the person who kills himself or the people left behind? Or everyone?

The play centers around a woman who tries to pick up the pieces of her life ... and help her children cope ... after her husband jumps into the Hudson River.

The comedic drama is based on Elliot Shoenman's book, "Nobody's Business." The book follows Shoenman's real-life story following his search for answers after his father committed suicide in 1964.

He hopes this play will help anyone who has suffered the loss and pain of a loved one's suicide.

The play also stars Meredith Bishop, Michael Mantell and Daniel Taylor.
