But the real investigators turn out to be Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale.

“Fool For Love,” by Sam Shepard, is directed by Lance Nuttman. Through searing truth and dark humor, Fool for Love tells the story of two people who just can't live without each other, whether they like it or not. May is hiding out at an old motel in the Mojave Desert. Eddie, an old flame and childhood friend, finds her there and threatens to drag her back into the life from which she had fled. Reality and dream; truth and lies; past and present mingle in an explosive, emotional experience.
