| Set in a stark motel room at the edge of the Mojave Desert, Fool for Love tells the story of troubled lovers Eddie and May. Caught in a vicious cycle of yearning and abandonment, they long to be together but find no real solace in each other's arms. Vicious, erotic and funny, Fool for Love is Signal's first production of one of America's most celebrated living playwrights. |
"A knockout staging…down-at-the-heels sex appeal…excellent direction" — Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune full review "Everything you expect in a Shepard play…immensely satisfying…Snook is especially impressive [and] nicely ambiguous" — Barbara Vitello, Daily Herald Critics' Choice "…intimate, haunting" — Christopher Piatt, Time Out Chicago "Ronan Marra's controlled direction beautifully emphasizes the script's power…Signal Ensemble Theatre truly allows the mastery of Shepard's initial vision to live" — Brian Kirst, Chicago Free Press "A coherent clutter-free production bringing the action home in a robust, riveting and, yes, 'relentless' 50 minutes without a second wasted" — Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times "…Sam Shepard's purest and most beautiful play" —New York Daily News "It is as mysterious and unsettling…as spare and, incidentally, as funny as anything he has ever done." —The New Yorker "FOOL FOR LOVE is certainly one of the best plays of our time. FOOL FOR LOVE may very well be one of the great plays of the late twentieth century." —Back Stage "…a powerful addition to Shepard's impressive output." —Variety |
