Set against the backdrop of Chicago in the 1920s, this touching, whimsical tale explores the impermanence of life and the permanence of love.

"..."Two years ago, at the 98-seat Grove Theater Center, I saw the best show I'd ever seen in an intimate house. Tonight I watched the same production revived at the much larger, 317-seat Kirk Douglas Theatre. The difference is substantial. It is now the best show I've seen in a mid-size house." Indeed, this is the richest, most satisfying play in memory, and may be one of the best shows you will ever see in your life."

"...Center Theatre Group opens Block Party, its three-play salute to the best of Los Angeles intimate theater, with an exquisitely expanded Kirk Douglas Theatre staging of Coeurage Theatre Company's multiple-award-winning Failure: A Love Story, Philip Dawkins' whimsical meditation on the fragility of life and the resiliency of those who live it."
