STAGE TUBE: FOOL FOR LOVE's Nina Arianda and Sam Rockwell Steam Up The Joint in a Video Teaser

Nina Arianda and Sam Rockwell play former lovers in Manhattan Theatre Club's Broadway revival of Sam Shepard's FOOL FOR LOVE, but there's plenty of heat in this new video teaser. The actors talk about what attracts them to their characters and their admiration for each other while director Daniel Aukin describes the exquisite tension in Shepard's writing.

Manhattan Theatre Club's upcoming Broadway premiere of Fool for Love by Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard, directed by Obie Award winner Daniel Aukin, will star Nina Arianda, Sam Rockwell,Tom Pelphrey and Gordon Joseph Weiss. The limited engagement of Fool for Love begins previews Tuesday, September 15 and opens Thursday, October 8 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

Holed up in a seedy motel on the edge of the Mojave Desert, two former lovers unpack the deep secrets and dark desires of their tangled relationship, passionately tearing each other apart. Beaten down by ill-fated love and a ruthless struggle for identity, can they ultimately live with, or without, each other? Led by director Daniel Aukin (Back Back Back at MTC; 4,000 Miles), Tony Award winner Nina Arianda (Venus in Fur at MTC, Born Yesterday) and Sam Rockwell (A Behanding in Spokane, The Way Way Back) bring an explosive intensity to Sam Shepard's (Buried Child, True West) landmark myth of the new Wild West.
