The Stage Austin presents Sam Shepard's raw and compelling drama Fool for Love, exploring the collision of two former lovers in a seedy motel room.
Stage Austin is bringing Sam Shepard's Fool for Love to their stage on Friday, July 17, with Kathleen Fletcher and Patrick Wheeler in the lead roles. The play is set on the edge of the Mojave Desert and follows two former lovers who collide in a seedy motel room, where old wounds reopen and buried family secrets come to the surface. It's a raw, funny, and deeply human drama, and it's widely considered one of the most compelling works of the American stage.
Stage Austin is a company of veteran Austin performers, producers, and directors, and they're staging this production as part of their mission to put on full seasons of professional theater and support the local theater community. The play itself is a two-hander, so the whole thing rests on the chemistry between the two leads as they work through the wreckage of their shared past.
