Love is a mess. Matrimony is deadly. Fifty sisters flee to an Italian villa to avoid marrying their 50 cousins. In an irreverent and chaotic adaptation of Aeschylus' The Suppliant Women, Big Love tackles relationships with mayhem, rage, heartache, and bloodshed.

Playwright Charles L. Mee says of his own work, “I like plays that are not too neat, too finished, too presentable. My own plays are broken, jagged, filled with sharp edges, filled with things that take sudden turns, careen into each other, smash up, veer off in sickening turns.That feels good to me." His preferences are quite evident in Big Love, as the plot is almost unrecognizable when compared to the original tale.

At 5:30 on October 2 with $10 tickets..
