Inspired by Aeschylus's The Suppliant Women, widely believed to be the earliest surviving play of the western world, Charles L. Mee's Big Love reinvents this classic of Greek theatre as an examination of modern-day gender politics in a wildly unconventional manner. Fifty Greek brides, on the verge of being forced into marriage with their 50 cousins, flee by boat to an Italian villa in search of refuge at the behest of ringleaders and angry brides-to-be, Lydia, Olympia, and Thyona. After successfully convincing the villaÕs Italian owners to shelter them, the sisters' plans for cover are thwarted when their 50 grooms arrive by helicopter, having easily tracked their ship. Plans are hatched, emotions explode, and an engaging dialogue on the inequalities of the human experience is present throughout. Location: Philbin Studio Theatre
