"Keegan Theatre's Fool for Love is a pure celebration of playwright Sam Shepard’s bumptious theatricality" WASHINGTON POST
Featuring Kevin Adams, Larissa Gallagher, Mark A. Rhea, and K. J. Thorarinsson
Directed by Colin Smith
A critical and popular success, this masterfully constructed work brings searing intensity and rare theatrical excitement to its probing, yet sharply humorous study of love, hate and the dying mythos of the American West.
In a stark, low-rent motel room on the edge of the Mojave Desert, Eddie and May love and hate their way through life. Unable to hold on or let go, they battle to keep from drowning together.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright’s masterpiece shows the heights and depths that love can take us to, and make fools of us all.
