Spring Theater Production: “Failure: A Love Story” by Chicago playwright Philip Dawkins
Directed by Matt Hawkins, Failure: A Love Story takes us to 1928, the last year of each of the Fail Sisters’ lives. As with so many things in life–blunt objects, disappearances and consumption–they never saw death coming.
Written by Chicago playwright Philip Dawkins, Failure: A Love Story is a magical, musical fable that traces the sisters’ triumphs and defeats, lived out in the rickety two-story building by the Chicago River that was the Fail family home and clock shop. This funny, moving and profoundly wise play reminds us that in the end, all that remains in love. This production will be performed in the Allan Carr Theater in Hixon Hall at 7:30 p.m. on March 26-28 and April 2-4.
Philip Dawkins received the Joseph Jefferson Nomination for New Work in 2011 and has had his plays produced nationwide.
