Inspired by Aeschylus' classic Greek play, The Danaids, Big Love examines the many contemporary complexities of love and marriage. It satirically exposes the truth behind arranged marriages, abuse, societal expectations, fear, confusion, masculinity, femininity sexuality and hope through the eyes of fifty brides and fifty grooms. In the first of two spring productions starring students of the UT MFA Acting class of 2010, fifty brides flee from Greece in a defiant effort to avoid their commitment to arranged marriages. The brides seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy only for their would-be grooms to arrive almost immediately to take them back, forcing the women to do whatever it takes to escape their marital obligations.
