«Loucos por Amor» is the play by Sam Shepard published by Relógio D'Água in 1990 (118 pages, in Portuguese).
Loucos por Amor, the Portuguese translation of Fool for Love, brings together May and Eddie, two characters trapped by a desire that cannot be satisfied, in a drama of intimate tone and growing tension. Shepard abandons the realism of his earlier pieces and builds an intense and moving story.
The original text, Fool for Love, was published in 1983 and was recognized with the Obie Award for best new American play in 1984.
It will interest theater readers and literature students who want to learn about contemporary American playwriting.
