What if death comes to you like a lover? The lover against whom all others were measured, who tempts you to let go of all responsibilities. You might be surprised to learn you’d fight this seduction, perfectly designed for you. Dream of Autumn is a look at what we cling to when it’s time to go. Written with fierce poetic simplicity, Fosse allows the audience to explore human interaction, finding the truths that lie within their own lives.
