Big Love*
By Charles L. Mee

Sex and violence take center stage in Charles Mee’s uproarious modernization of Aeschylus’ The Suppliant Women. Mee converts a story of forced marriage into a spectacular vaudevillian tragicomedy. This universally-praised work is rife with arranged weddings, secret pacts and revenge, revenge, revenge—all in an Italian villa.
