Big Love

I just came back from a Texas State play called Big Love. I wasnt sure what to expect or what it was even about. When I was waiting for the play to start I read the program and it said fifty brides and fifty grooms but not all will make it to the altar. From that it doesnt really explain what its about. I soon found out there were 50 sisters had an arranged marrage to 50 of their cousins. All the guys were set on marrying the girls, but the girls wanted nothing to do with them. They didnt know what to do so they ran away from Greece to Italy. The play was very dramatic. They stomped and yelled alot to show their frustration with the arranged marriage. Finally they all agreed to marry the cousins but on the weadding night no man would survive. But one of the 50 sisters had fallen in love with their husband to be. That night the only husband that survived was that one girls husband. All the other sisters were mad that she broke her promise but came to realize that unconditional love trumps all. The overall play was very good and funny. I really enjoyed it.
