Fool for Love & The Sad Lament of Pecos Bill on the Eve of Killing his Wife – Sam Shepard

Condition : Good.
Faber, 1984, Medium-format paperback – Drama – 112pp.

Set in a desolate motel room on the edge of the Mojave desert, the play has something of the timeless universality of a Greek tragedy . . . Like ancient classical drama, too, the action is at once brief and relentless. By the end of the 90-minute play you feel you have lived through a cataclysm . . .

Fool for Love is accompanied in this volume by The Sad Lament of Pecos Bill on the Eve of Killing his Wife, a comic operetta by Sam Shepard and Catherine Stone, which takes an irreverent view of American heroes and heroics.

This is a tremendous play, bleak but savagely funny, apparently naturalistic yet also resonant and dreamlike.’ – Daily Telegraph
