Fool for Love - by Sam Shepard

Winner of the 1984 Obie Award for Best New American Play

Eddie and May are holed up in a dingy motel room at the edge of the Mojave Desert. Their whirlwind love brings them together and then flings them apart. Tonight is no different. Why do they keep trying, knowing the secret they share? Will tonight's attempt be any different? The poignancy of their situation is pointed out by the play's other two characters - a hapless young man who comes by to take May to the movies, and a ghostly old man who sits in a rocking chair. Will their love become permanent tonight or be torn apart again by the burden of their secret?
