Set in Chicago in 1928, this magical fable traces the lives — and untimely deaths — of the three unforgettable Fail sisters, through the eyes of the dashing young man who loves (and quickly loses) each of them in turn. Whimsical, theatrical, gleefully funny and profoundly moving, Failure intricately intertwines the mysteries of love and death to create a captivating waltz in which time truly is of the essence, hope does indeed spring eternal and love undeniably conquers all.
