 Hello Failure         Mayor Of Baltimore, The         Scandal, The         Sometimes You Go To The World         There There         You, My Mother

Hello Failure

Synopsis:
Hello Failure is the comical, unpredictable, and lyrical account of seven submariner's wives negotiating the peculiar drama of absence. In Hello Failure, Krisetn Kosmas's singular voice and distinctive theatrical sensibility create an oddly affecting and delightfully disorienting world, where communication and bridges collapse, and little attempts at kindness are botched or lost in the mail. as a support group for wives of submariners on mission meets, one of their members locks herself in the bathroom and confronts the catalyst of their loneliness and fear, Horace Hunley, infamous developer of a specific class of submarine; his Confederate creations continually sank only to be recovered and re-manned; after a successful mission, his eponymous sub sank once again-this time with Horace on it. He's conjured by Rebecca, appropriately enough, while she is locked in her bathroom.

There There

Synopsis:
Christopher Walken, on tour in Russia with a solo show inspired by Chekhov's Solyony, has mysteriously fallen off a ladder and is unable to perform. Karen, who apparently proofread the script once, is asked to go on in Walken's place. A precarious bilingual performance duet ensues between Karen and her Russian translator Leo as she attempts to perform Walken's role. A wildly unpredictable and strangely moving theatrical roller coaster about being the completely wrong person in the totally wrong place at the exact wrong time doing all the most wrong things.
