Greendale Residents Perform at the Alchemist Theatre

Greendale residents Bethany Ligocki Peters & Jeff Ircink take the stage at The Alchemist Theatre in Sam Shepard's FOOL FOR LOVE!  from June 3 through June 18.

In a motel on the edge of the Mojave desert, Sam Shepherd's Fool for Love begins like a bronco released from the pen and continues to unravel at breakneck speed.

A story of love and betrayal, it plays like an old country song; one we all remember the tune to but have long since forgotten the words.

Eddie and May burn with hate and desire while their past haunts them, lingering in a corner as a constant reminder of their sins.

How much can you love someone before you begin to hate them?
Are familial ties and heritage unbreakable, or ignorable?
When do you know to pack up and leave before your memories - or lies - catch up with you?

Violent and sexy, Fool for Love explores the mysterious imbalance between loving and forgetting.
