Fool for Love
By Sam Shepard, directed by Jeremy Herrin
January 30 - March 16, 2025
In the Downstairs Theater
In a sweltering motel room in the Mojave Desert, May and Eddie lick their wounds and get ready for another relentless round. This brawl is eternal and infernal. And the Old Man is always watching.
Perhaps the sexiest, most haunting play of the 20th century, Fool for Love is a twisted and tequila-soaked love letter from one of the greatest American playwrights, indulging the need to get inside someone just to tear them apart.
