One of the great American plays of the last half-century and a 1984 Pulitzer Prize finalist, FOOL FOR LOVE is one of the most acclaimed works by Sam Shepard, the writer who redefined what American mythology looks like on stage. Eddie and May are former lovers pulled back together by an obsession neither can explain, until a secret surfaces that makes the danger between them make sense, and makes it worse.

Old flames. Family Secrets. One night that presents the least expected ending. Reimagined through the lens of the Black experience, Theater Alliance presents this piece of American mythology with local DC artists, Renea S. Brown & Yao Dogbe at the center.
