To everyone who has neither seen nor heard from me, here it is, my
thesis, the grand and messy play I have been cooking up with an amazing
company of artists:
It is two weeks until the opening of Big Love, where fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in a
villa on the coast of Italy in a modern re-making of one of the western
world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. The fifty grooms catch up with the brides, and mayhem ensues:
the grooms arriving by helicopter, women throwing themselves
over and over again to the ground, pop songs and romantic dances, and, finally,
unable to escape their forced marriages, 49 of the brides murder 49 of the
grooms—and one bride falls in love. About the same odds as today.

While waiting to post final pictures from The Skin of Our Teeth, I'm going to start showing the workings of Big Love here. Our designer has started a website for source material, it's fairly empty right now, but promises to be full of pictures and sketches and more, soon.
