Recommended for ages 13+

Meet the Fail sisters: Nelly, Gerty and Jenny June. Enter their world of talking clocks, cockatoos and catastrophe. When a young man named Mortimer Mortimer stops by their clock shop on a Sunday drive none of their lives will ever be the same. Full of music and magic and set in thriving 1928 Chicago, this funny and moving fable play reminds us that, in the end, love is the only thing that matters.

 

"It’s hard to imagine a better production of Philip Dawkins’ lovely, bittersweet play...The play moved me In surprising ways and with the smallest of gestures."
Toby Zinman, The Philadelphia Inquirer
