“My plays are broken, jagged, filled with sharp edges, filled with things that take sudden turns, careen into each other, smash up, veer off in sickening turns. That feels good to me.” – Charles Mee

Big Love
By Charles Mee

This startling adaptation of Aeschylus’s The Suppliant Women brings classical Greek tragedy bracingly into the present, weaving together a commentary on gender issues, societal pressures, and commercialism. The resulting theatrical wonder is an alternately amusing and horrifying, slapstick and serious, athletic tale of a group of 50 sisters fled from Greece to Italy to avoid forced marriage to their cousins. Big Love is a unique, thought provoking, and exciting evening of theatre.

“A vibrant contemporary work.”
– The Oregonian
