LIFE SUCKS. by Aaron Posner

LIFE SUCKS. by Aaron Posner
Directed by Fran Smith
Sponsored by Barbara & Jay Kessler

Runs in repertory with UNCLE VANYA by Anton Chekhov, September 29-October 29, 2023.

Seven disgruntled old friends, ex-lovers, estranged in-laws, and lifelong enemies gather and grumble, tangle, carouse, yearn for love, and generally contemplate the meaning of it all.

“[LIFE SUCKS.] is altogether wise, profoundly humane, hilarious, quirky, endearing and, in countless clever ways, brilliantly faithful to its source.”
— Chicago Sun-Times
