Sam Shepard’s Fool For Love, Starring Nina Arianda & Sam Rockwell, Begins Performances on Broadway

Ready for Nina Arianda and Sam Rockwell to heat up the Great White Way?! The pair will begin previews in the Broadway premiere of Sam Shepard’s 1982 play Fool for Love on September 15. Opening night is set for October 8 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Set in a seedy Mojave Desert motel, Fool for Love follows two old flames as they explore the secrets and desires of their tangled past. Directed by Daniel Aukin, the production will also star Tom Pelphrey and Gordon Joseph Weiss.

Fool for Love is scheduled to play a limited engagement through December 6. The production previously ran at the Williamstown Theatre Festival last year; Arianda, Rockwell and Weiss reprise their performances for the Broadway transfer.
