An Unsuccessful Play

An Unsuccessful Play

Dixon Place [September 2009]

Synopsis

An Unsuccessful Play is one of many strange, hilarious and meaningful works by Daniil Kharms. It is a five minute play in which no one is able to say what they mean to say. And the show cannot possibly go on. (ie. Everyone vomits. A lot.)

An artistic laboratory with an audience, we serve as a safety net, enabling artists to present challenging and questioning work that pushes the limits of artistic expression.

The artist's experience is given top priority through our professional atmosphere and remuneration, and their process is enhanced through the reaction of our adventurous audiences.
