REVIEW: Fool For Love, Samuel J Friedman Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
Central to the power of the the production is the exquisite casting of the two doomed lovers, Eddie and May. Nina Arianda, a fan of this play since her very youngest days, is utterly superb as Eddie. Powerfully sensual, impossibly attractive, but just as impossibly earthy and ordinary, Arianda presents a deeply physiological performance which plays out through intense physical theatre. Remarkably, Sam Rockwell matches Arianda's intensity and notches it up a level. He exudes a sexual intensity which is overwhelming, laces it with pain and indecision and then overlays that with testosterone cowboy tropes which somehow seem utterly fresh, real and dangerous.
