FOOL FOR LOVE

Fool for Love finds two former lovers holed up in a seedy motel on the edge of the Mojave Desert, where they unpack the deep secrets and dark desires of their tangled relationship, passionately tearing each other apart. Beaten down by ill-fated love and a struggle for identity, they must decide whether it is ultimately possible to live with, or without, each other.

Written by Sam Shepard
Directed by Will Bradley and Cecilia Fairchild
Produced by Los Angeles LGBT Center/Jon Imparato

Presented at the Center’s Davidson/Valentini Theatre as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival on June 4, 2016

Gil KaanBroadway World
“Beautifully co-directed...One could hardly imagine a finer production of Shepard’s work."
Vanessa CateStage Raw
"Arresting revival...impressive co-directorial debuts [Will Bradley and Cecilia Fairchild]...Grinstead, who also designed the effective skeletal set, and Gulezian are as definitive as any pair since Ed Harris and Kathy Baker originated the roles. CRITIC’S PICK"
