About the Show

Signature Theatre presents Charles L. Mee's adaptation of 'The Suppliants' about fifty brides on the run from fifty grooms.

Fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in an Italian villa in this modern re-making of one of the world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. Mayhem ensues, complete with grooms in flight suits, women throwing themselves to the ground, occasional pop songs and romantic dances - even a bride falling in love. Reuniting Signature's 2007-08 Playwright-in-Residence Charles Mee with his longtime collaborator Tina Landau, Big Love is a colossal, poetic work that explores the hunger for independence, the burden of tradition, and the shape and size of love.

Fun, Entertaining, Bright ideas

See it if You like Charles Mee, I saw it for Daphne Rubin Vega as well. Interesting idea, women in charge.

Don't see it if You prefer straight forward plot and characters.

Clever, Delightful, Great staging, Fun, Provocative

See it if Enjoy vibrant interpretations and highly physical theater

Don't see it if You react badly to either the sight of (fake, but copious) blood or highly alternative staging
