Big Love

Fifty sisters have been betrothed to 50 brothers. But they don't want to marry, and they run away, with the brothers in hot pursuit and stopping at nothing to get their women back. Acclaimed playwright Mee rewrites an old text, Aeschylus' The Suppliant Women, in a fresh and contemporary style and, on his way to the final curtain, asks the audience to think about feminism, marriage, and love.

Performances Dec. 2-4, 9 & 10 at 8 p.m., Dec. 11 at 2 p.m.

First Friday talkback following the show on Dec. 3
