Big Love is a tragicomic, modern re-telling of one of the western world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. Fifty brides flee an arranged marriage to their fifty cousins and seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy. When the fifty grooms catch up with the brides demanding they honor the contract, mayhem ensues: the brides and grooms sing, dance, throw epic tantrums, make vulnerable confessions, and eat cake. Big Love deals with themes of refugeeism, gender roles, dysfunctional relationships, and ultimately love. It questions the worth of the institution of marriage and shows us there are no easy answers.
