A reimagining of the ancient Greek tragedy The Suppliant Women by Aechylus. 50 sisters flee to avoid an arranged marriage to their cousins.
About this Event

Written by Charles Mee, Big Love reimagines the ancient Greek tragedy The Suppliant Women by Aechylus. 50 sisters flee the altar in Greece rather than being forced into arranged marriages to their 50 cousins. But the grooms aren't ready to give up that easily. More than just a battle of the sexes, Big Love looks at what happens when we are more interested in being right than making room for the beauty and complexity of our differences.
