Concept Statement

Fool for Love is set on the edge of the dry Mojave Desert during present day. The play explores May and Eddie’s volatile, incestuous relationship in a realistic world. Sam Sherpard exposes the messy, destructive, and deeply human nature of love

Production Statement

My concept for Fool for Love developed through close readings, research, and character analysis. Fool for Love explores the human need for intimacy, and the sacrifices people make for love. This contemporary play follows May and Eddie, half-siblings who continue their toxic sexual relationship despite learning about their familial connection. Set on the outskirts of the Mojave Desert, the dried up and deserted landscape reflects their emotional isolation and distance from society’s moral expectations.
