BIG LOVE November 11 “ 23, 2014 written by Charles L. Mee based on The Suppliant Women by Aeschylus directed by Harriet Power "surprise, astonishment and adventure, restored to theatre “ The New York Times
Fifty brides flee fifty grooms and seek refuge at a villa on the coast of Italy in this wild wedding of mythic proportions. When the would-be husbands descend upon their reluctant brides, the women hatch a plan to fend off a full-on amorous assault and escape their ill-fated marriages once and for all. Visceral and haunting, Big Love is "a fable (as in fabulous), a myth (its origin), an MGM musical in technicolor, a circus and, believe it, a Greek tragedy.“ The New York Times.
