Closing out the mainstage season is Big Love by Charles Mee, the most ambitious Hub production yet. Fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy in this modern re-making of one of the western world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. And, in this villa on the Italian coast, the fifty grooms catch up with the brides and mayhem ensues: the grooms arriving by helicopter in their flight suits, 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. Big Love runs at the John Swayze Theatre July 13 – August 5, 2012.
