The Jigsaw Paradigm by Jennifer Newell ( j.lee roe) - Drama, Dark - ‘The Jigsaw Paradigm’ tells the story of Katherine, a young woman who has tried to commit suicide. Told in a series of flashbacks about her suicide and the present life she is leading two years on from her failed attempt, she has formed an unlikely friendship with another failed suicide victim called Spencer who has tried to kill himself six times. As Katherine struggles to understand why she tried to commit suicide, and her difficulty in facing up to questions she doesn’t have the answer to, she finds herself questioning such irrational acts. What is the pattern to suicide as in what is the pattern to life? Katherine’s own struggle to find answers and face the truth is mirrored by all the other characters that are somehow all linked in a puzzle with no key, many of them with their own questions and truths they must eventually face up to. It’s a series of events that have been and already are set in motion that then affect all of their lives for better or worse. And like a jigsaw they fit together in places but not all the pieces fitting, because just when you think you know the rules/pattern there is always someone or something that comes along and adds something new, like a new twist. All in all I guess I would describe it as a dark/black drama. - doc, format
