Leaving Las Vegas is a 1995 romantic drama film written and directed by Mike Figgis and based on the semi-autobiographical novel "Leaving Las Vegas" by John O'Brien.
 Nicolas Cage stars as a suicidal alcoholic who has ended his personal and professional life to drink himself to death in Las Vegas.
 While there, he develops a relationship with a hardened prostitute played by Elisabeth Shue, which forms the center of the film.
 O'Brien committed suicide two weeks after principal photography of the film began.
Patrick Rea (born January 2, 1980 in Schuyler, Nebraska) is an American producer, writer and director.
The Pip Simmons Theatre Group was formed in 1968.
 Pip Simmons, the founder, served both as writer and director, but he was open to the ideas of others in the company, much of their work being devised pieces.
 Initially London based, it was one of the first English experimental theatre companies but spent much of its time working in Europe where there was a more sympathetic financial and institutional network.
 Simmons maintained the momentum of the group by taking a series of 'residencies' in theatre spaces around the UK and Europe, which was not a familiar concept at the time.
 The group performed at the Mickery Theatre, under the nurturing gaze of Ritsaert ten Cate, along with contemporaries such as Mike Figgis, and The Wooster Group.
 Pip Simmons has said of Ritsaert: 'Ritsaert made it possible for us to experiment.
 He was learning with us, and he didn't hide it...I did my best work there in Holland, and Ritsaert stimulated it.
 His stimulation wasn't just for one short period, though.
 He provided the best stimulation, because he stuck with you through failures as well as successes.
 He can't be compared with anyone else in Europe.'

 Starring Sean Bean, Tommy Lee Jones, Sting and Melanie Griffith, and is an atmospheric, noirish thriller.
 The notable jazz soundtrack is also by Figgis.
 Being set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, the film is something of an homage to "Get Carter".
 The film's title refers to blues guitarist/singer T-Bone Walker's signature song "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)"
