Fool For Love: By Sam Shepherd 

Director: Sarain Soonias (Member Presented) 

Through searing truth and dark humor, Fool for Love shows the story of two people who just can’t live without each other whether they like it or not. May is hiding out at an old motel in the Mojave Desert. Eddie, an old flame and childhood friend, finds her there and threatens to drag her back into the life from which she had fled. Reality and dream; truth and lies; past and present mingle in an explosive, emotional experience. Directed by Sarain Soonias, “Fool For Love” was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1984 and is considered one of the most revered creations from legendary playwright Sam Shepherd.  

Mature language and situations, not suitable for younger audiences (for ages 18+).
