Jason Alexander of 'Seinfeld' fame directs the story about a triangle of lust and deceit and who's brave enough to admit why it's happening.
Chicagoans have less than a week left to see the world premiere of "Fault" at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater . Jason Alexander of "Seinfeld" fame directs the story about a triangle of lust and deceit and who's brave enough to admit why it's happening.
The cast told ABC7's Hosea Sanders about this absorbing dark comedy. A high-powered couple, married for decades, is forced to confront infidelity.
"I think it's an examination of people who love each other and are committed to each other but perhaps still have a lot of places to grow. It's going to question how you see yourself in your relationship, and it will give you an opportunity to explore those things with the people you love," Spence said.
"The theatre community here is incredible, because we're very tight and very close and very supportive of one another, and there's a work ethic here we're very proud of. "When asked what appealed to Colantoni about this story, he said, "The humor of it. It's hysterically funny. It has elements of farce.
It has a lot of heart, a lot of soul. Let's laugh about the miracle of any relationship, the miracle of anybody coming together and surviving, no matter how they do it.
""It is an education every day as an actor to get to work with people you look up to, to get to work with people whose work you appreciate," Marini said. "I'm thrilled to be in Chicago. It's a great town. It welcomed me for my first television show.
To be here again for my first big theater it feels like a full-circle moment.
""He's a real mentor to me. Just to watch the way that he treats others on set or at the theater, I learned a lot about leadership and kindness," Marini said. Spence added, "To be able to learn about pace and time and comedy from an icon like him, you don't say no to that.
" "You're in for a really fun ride. Once we get going, we never really stop. It's funny. It's moving at times.
It tackles things that are important, and it does it in a way that's witty and fun," Marini said. Copyright © 2026 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
