Fool for Love

The Shelton Theater
533 Sutter St. San Francisco

This Pulitzer Prize-winning classic of the American stage is at once funny and horrific and thought by many to be Sam Shepard's masterpiece. In Fool for Love, Mae is hiding out at an old motel in the Southwest. Eddie, her old flame and childhood friend, shows up and threatens to metaphorically and literally drag her back into the life from which she's fled. Their battle plays out in front of a stranger, as they trade barbs, heartbreak and painful revelations, taking themselves and the audience on an unforgettable journey that demonstrates what happens when love and attraction cross the line to obsession. Take in all the gritty greatness of Fool for Love at the Shelton Theater in San Francisco.
