Big Love by Charles L. Mee
In this unconventional retelling of The Suppliant Women by Aeschylus, Charles L. Mee turns the ancient tale of justice, revenge and the battle of the sexes into a wild celebration of love and a meditation on the contemporary themes of domestic abuse and gender inequality.
“ ‘Big Love’ is the simple, direct, important, easy-to-remember title of a fanciful theater piece you will never forget.”
– The New York Times
