September 21 & 28 at 2:00 pm
In Philip Dawkins’ tender and theatrical tale, time is slippery, love is unpredictable, and death is just around the corner. Lyrical, funny, and unexpectedly moving, Failure is a story about living, loving—and dying—in 1920s Chicago.
Following the performance on Thursday, September 25, there will be a discussion with the playwright and student designers about their work on the production. The discussion will be facilitated by Professor of Design Rob Eastman-Mullins.
