5_PluckingFailures-Postcard.jpg

“... strangely uplifting... one of the better shows you can see while alone in New York around Christmas time... an absolute joy.”
— Ethan Stanislawski (BlogCritics Magazine)

“The theme of Plucking Failures Like Ripe Fruit is failure at love, and the plays depict the commonality of human loneliness in a delightfully plucky manner... an enjoyable night of theater.”
— Amy Freeman (offoffonline)

Plucking Failures Like Ripe Fruit; A Night of Romantic Tragedies presented by No Tea Productions is a delightful piece of theater, chock full of comedic tales; complex and not so, that cuts to the core of how people connect, disconnect and sadly never connect.”
— Retrovision Media


Plucking Failures like Ripe Fruit was a collection of small works by big playwrights, all about failing at love. Before each show, the audience drew our performance order from a collection of more than 10 short plays, so every night was a different mix of failure.
