SUMMARY:Big Love by Charles Mee
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Eric Prince\nNovember 9\, 10\, 15\, 16\, 17\, 7:30 
 p.m.\; matinees on November 11\, 2 p.m.\nStudio Theatre\, UCA\n\nBig Love\
 , by Charles Mee\, has been called a big\, beautiful\, fantastic mess. Jus
 t like love. It’s also been called a euphoric\, erotic\, madly tumultuou
 s piece of work\, and although based on one of the oldest plays of ancient
  Greece it’s more recognizably HBO’s The Sopranos in style and method 
 rather than Aeschylus.\n\nIt’s the story of three women (and 47 sisters)
  fleeing their homeland of Greece to escape forced marriages to men they h
 ave never met and do not love. Their refuge is a sumptuous Italian villa a
 nd its eccentric household until the jilted grooms finally arrive\, by mil
 itary helicopter\, to retake the betrothed women by whatever means necessa
 ry. Events however spin out of control in a dizzying\, surprising and wild
 ly comical fashion\, leaving audiences entertained\, yet pondering the ete
 rnal question of love and marriage. Must we succumb to the power of love\,
  to the pull of passion to experience all that is good in life? Or is sexu
 al attraction\, lust\, and love itself\, just another form of enslavement?
  Written originally for the Humana Festival\, Louisville\, in 2000\, there
  is still something topically relevant about this play in this era of Trum
 p and the “Me Too” movement\, and our debates about the politics of po
 wer\, gender\, and male supremacy.\n\nThe oldest questions on earth have a
  way of just never going away....\n
