Fool for Love & the Sad Lament of Pecos Bill

Drama. Sam Shepard's FOOL FOR LOVE is arguably the playwright's best known play. Focusing, as many of Shepard's plays do, on the dark side of life in the West, FOOL FOR LOVE was first produced at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco in February, 1983, before moving to Off-Broadway at the Circle Repertory Theatre in May of that year. Shepard himself directed these original productions, winning Obie Awards for his writing and directing as well as the award for best new American play.
