“If you knew how long you had, would you be able to live your life?” This bittersweet consideration is at the center of Failure: A Love Story, a play at once whimsical and profound, simple and elegant. In Chicago in 1928, the three Fail sisters—Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty—will meet untimely ends, but their unfortunate fates are tempered by the richness of life and love. With echoes of Thornton Wilder and tinged with the nostalgia of popular songs from a by-gone era, this delicately romantic and funny play reminds us that “just because something ends, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great success.”
