Kenny Leon and True Colors Theatre Company announce the haunting story of obsession “Fool for Love” by Sam Shepard, directed by True Colors Associate Artistic Director Todd Kreidler and starring Kenny Leon and Jasmine Guy.
“Fool for Love” is a haunting story of obsession, love, denial and the relationship between two people who can’t live with or without each other.
Inside the confines of a motel room, two estranged lovers revisit their shared history and reignite old rage. When they try to come to terms with their past the outcome is fascinating and shocking, funny and bitter.
Sex, love, hate, and passion combine as they are faced with a choice: return to their combative relationship or try to live their lives alone. A limited four-week engagement is scheduled from May 13 through June 11, with previews on May 10, 11, 12 at 8 p.m. A weekday matinee will be on May 18.
Performances Tuesdays – Saturdays are at 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. The venue is the Balzer Theatre at Herren’s, 84 Luckie St.
