Preview: Fool For Love



Opening this week is another VERY interesting piece from Red One Theatre Company and Ezra's Atlantic Co-op, Sam Shepard's Fool For Love.


Show Description:
Set in a motel room on the edge of a desert, Sam Shepard's intensely sexual psycho-drama is one of the Pulitzer-prize winning playwright's best known works. Written by the Academy award-nominated actor (The Right Stuff) while he was in the process of leaving his first wife to be with Hollywood actress Jessica Lange, the play is a vivid and violent exploration of the terrible bonds of love and family and fate. Eddie and May are the tragic heroes of this tale - lovers who became so before realizing that they were the son and daughter of the same man. When his two separate families discovered his secret the father disappeared and was never seen again. The motel room becomes the crucible for the two lover-siblings, and a father who may or may not be real, to act out the tale of their obsessive, destructive bonds and to try once more to be free of each other forever.
