Summary

Jason Alexander, famed for his role on "Seinfeld," is directing the world premiere of the dark comedy "Fault" at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. This marks the play's debut, with Alexander expressing his preference for Chicago as the launch city. He stated, "It's about, as most dramas are, ego. 'I can't be wrong; I can't be the one at fault. It has to be the other person.'"
The play centers on a husband who discovers his wife with another man, raising questions about accountability in their failing relationship. Alexander finds directing to be a fulfilling role that suits his current life and artistic understanding, contrasting it with the physical demands of acting.
Alexander praised Chicago audiences as "collaborators" for new works, highlighting his positive experiences with the city and its theater scene. "Fault" is scheduled to conclude its run on May 24th, providing a limited opportunity to see this new production directed by Alexander.
