Fool for Love

Fool FOr Love

 

April 16-26, 2026 

Performed in the Levitt Art Gallery in Eppley Auditorium, Fool for Love by Sam Shepard will let our  our audiences experience this engaging play in an intimate setting. The scene is a stark motel room at the edge of the Mojave Desert. Ex-lovers May and Eddie are discussing May's distress about Eddie’s frequent absences and love affairs. As the recriminations pour out, and the action becomes at times physically violent, the desperate nature of their relationship becomes apparent—they cannot get along with, or without, one another, yet neither can subdue their burning passion. Eventually May and Eddie tire of their struggle and embrace—but it is evident that the respite is temporary and that their love, the curse of the past which haunts them, will remain forever damned and hopeless.

NOTE: This show contains very frank adult language and themes

 

"Fool For Love is a word battle between two people who understand their opponent well enough to hit em’ where it hurts."
Third Coast Review: Chicago
"May and Eddie are star-crossed lovers who meet yet again in a motel out in the Mojave Desert. There is a taut, difficult dynamic between these two that produces a dreaded secret to face."
