Death is easy, comedy is hard.

"Why would a bright, young rising-star comedian suddenly and deliberately amputate his own arms?" - Sir Laurence Olivier. Acclaimed absurdist playwright Don Becker analyzes his own 1986 life-changing tragedy for the first time in 'A Farewell to Arms: The Don Becker Story', a film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Robin Beeck.
