SAVAGE LOVE / Play
Girl Trip Productions announced new ground with Sam Shepard’s one act play, Savage Love at The Broadwater.
Sam Shepard and mould-breaker Joseph Chaikin penned these real and imagined moments about romantic love and the closeness and distance between lovers in 1981.
Savage Love steps through these raw, relatable love moments, getting inside our shared experiences of love— the difficulty of expressing tenderness, the dread of being replaced, or the experience of lovers sleeping next to one another, with one a little bit awake watching the other sleep.
Girl Trip co-founder and director Harrison James and her team deliver a fresh take on this stunning and intimate one-act play. The music of Magnetic Zeros’ Crash Richard, along with his sound design, foley and responses, affects the sonic landscape and final form of the piece. Choreographer Sarah Polednak dances the part of the lover, completing a cohesive, collaborative piece.
“An intimate and vulnerable performance of a man’s journey through love and loss, accompanied by raw and moving interpretive dance and acoustic guitar. A must see.”
