SUMMARY:Big Love by Charles Mee
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Eric Prince\nNovember 9\, 10\, 15\, 16\, 7:30 p.m.\
 ; matinees on November 11\, 17\, 2 p.m.\n\nBig Love\, by Charles Mee\, has
  been called a big\, beautiful\, fantastic mess. Just like love. It’s al
 so been called a euphoric\, erotic\, madly tumultuous piece of work\, and 
 although based on one of the oldest plays of ancient Greece it’s more re
 cognizably HBO’s The Sopranos in style and method rather than Aeschylus.
 \n\nIt’s the story of three women (and 47 sisters) fleeing their homelan
 d of Greece to escape forced marriages to men they have never met and do n
 ot love. Their refuge is a sumptuous Italian villa and its eccentric house
 hold until the jilted grooms finally arrive\, by military helicopter\, to 
 retake the betrothed women by whatever means necessary. Events however spi
 n out of control in a dizzying\, surprising and wildly comical fashion\, l
 eaving audiences entertained\, yet pondering the eternal question of love 
 and marriage. Must we succumb to the power of love\, to the pull of passio
 n to experience all that is good in life? Or is sexual attraction\, lust\,
  and love itself\, just another form of enslavement? Written originally fo
 r the Humana Festival\, Louisville\, in 2000\, there is still something to
 pically relevant about this play in this era of Trump and the “Me Too”
  movement\, and our debates about the politics of power\, gender\, and mal
 e supremacy.\n\nThe oldest questions on earth have a way of just never goi
 ng away...\n\nWARNING: This production is PG-13 equivalent for violence\, 
 language\, and adult situations.\n\n\n\nRead the Big Love Program
