Clarence Brown Theatre - The Lab Theatre
Failure: A Love Story, by Philip Dawkins, is a musical fable about three sisters whose lives and loves are tragically cut short by fate. The scenic design draws from Art Deco, emphasizing geometric forms, symmetry, and shades of orange and green. Set in a clock shop, the environment features prop-filled shelves and a central clock that acts as a portal between scenes, reinforcing the theme of time. Modular blocks replace traditional furniture, allowing constant transformation. The circular stage includes steps suggesting the Chicago River. The design creates a whimsical, memory-filled world.
