"Big love"

An outrageous comedy/horror spectacle by Charles Mee 

based on the oldest known play in history by Aescylus!


 Matrimony Mayhem Murder

 

This disobedient, riotous play is an energetic collage of modern gender politics, love and domestic violence rooted in Charles Mee’s adaptation of the world’s oldest play, Aeschylus’s “The Suppliant Women”.

50 brides flee 50 grooms to an Italian villa worthy of “White Lotus”. The men in hot pursuit jettison in by helicopter and find resistance and submission, love and murder, passionate lovers and a trio of Italian Grandmothers. Featuring live music and tracks from the late 90’s to 00’s.

Let the games begin!
