Big Love
by Charles Mee
Directed by: Laley Lippard
Produced by: Angela Bush
Charles Mee’s tempestuous retelling of the myth of Danaids, 50 Greek daughters forced against their will, their 50 cousins. When force to marry the women make a murderous pact, and the marriage ceremony erupts into a dance of sex, cake, and carnage. Mee’s expansive, fractured, exploration, blends perfectly with foolsFURY’s fierce, physical style. “With Mee the playwright is suddenly part of the ensemble, and our conversation leave room for a foolsFURY answer that quickens the pulses,” says director Laley Lippard.
“I can’t think of another local company that’s aiming so high.”
—San Francisco Weekly (Big Love)
“FoolsFURY does a true service in introducing this singular voice to our coast.”
—Village Voice
