Sam Shepard’s Fool for Love –Two Weekends Left!
Beowulf Alley Theatre
(Tucson, AZ ) There are just two weekends left to see Sam Shepard’s Fool for Love, directed by Mike Sultzbach including a presentation of Cowboy Poetry by Tucson’s own Bill Black preceding each performance (www.billblackaz.com). Tickets are selling briskly. The cast includes Dan Higgins, Jessica Risco, Eric Smith, and Daved Wilkins. Beowulf Alley Theatre is located at 11 South 6th Avenue (Downtown between Broadway and Congress).
“All four actors gave excellent performances on opening night. This is not an easy play to pull off, being full of inner tension that keeps ratcheting up the ante…” –C. Graham
“Men and women like May and Eddie headed west because they didn't belong anywhere. We feel that need to stay in motion in Bill Black's poems. We meet the ramifications of it in "Fool For Love." – C. Graham

In a stark motel room at the edge of the Mojave Desert, May, a disheveled young woman and Eddie, struggle through recriminations and physical violence. Eventually May and Eddie tire of their struggle and embrace—but it is evident that the respite is temporary and that their love, the curse of the past which haunts them, will remain forever damned and hopeless.
“Winner of the [1984] Obie Award [for Best New American Play], this masterfully constructed work brings searing intensity and rare theatrical excitement to its probing, yet sharply humorous study of love, hate and the dying myths of the Old West.”
