Fool for Love

Set in a desolate motel room on the edge of the Mojave desert the play has something of the timeless universality of a Greek tragedy . . . Like ancient classical drama too the action is at once brief and relentless. By the end of the 90-minute play you feel you have lived through a cataclysm . . . This is a tremendous play bleak but savagely funny apparently naturalistic yet also resonant and dreamlike. <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br><br><b>Fool for Love</b> is accompanied in this volume by <b>The Sad Lament of Pecos Bill on the Eve of Killing his Wife</b> a comic operetta by Sam Shepard and Catherine Stone which takes an irreverent view of American heroes and heroics.
