Sam Shepard's 1983 drama Fool for Love makes its Broadway debut tonight at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Tony Award winner Nina Arianda (Venus in Fur) and Sam Rockwell (A Behanding in Spokane) lead the four-member ensemble as a pair of former lovers who unpack their relationship in a seedy Mojave Desert motel. Daytime Emmy winner Tom Pelphrey and Tony nominee Gordon Joseph Weiss complete the cast.

Director Daniel Aukin, who staged the Williamstown mounting of Fool for Love, returns alongside his creative team, made up of Dane Laffrey (scenic design), Anita Yavich (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), Ryan Rumery (sound design), and David S. Leong (movement and fights).

Performances are set to run through December 6.
