In this raucous play with music, 50 brides flee their 50 grooms on their wedding day. The women seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy but all is not well. The 50 grooms catch up with the brides and mayhem ensues. The grooms arrive by helicopter in their flight suits and the women wield words (and circular saw blades!) with equal abandon, and love tangles with belonging, agency, and independence In this world of pop songs, wild dances, and chaotic violence, 49 brides K*ll 49 grooms … and one marries for love. Join us for this re-making of one of the western world's oldest plays to find out just who finds love in a hopeless place.
