...stages all over America, Fool for Love (1983) was the stark tale of two people locked inside a shared obsession--and a spare anthology of modern theater. The moral claustrophobia of No Exit, the strange sibling bond of The Glass Menagerie, the guilty sustaining secret of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the menacing silences of Harold Pinter all brooded under the skin of Sam Shepard's naturalism.

This could quash the efforts of crafty corporate raiders who have used nothing but junk bond debt to finance their billion-dollar takeover bids...
