Ravyn Rochelle Instagram – My second stage production ever… To put yourself in front of an audience & tell a story authentically takes such bravery, vulnerability & being unashamed. It’s liberating. Its freeing. It’s a natural high. It’s life changing. Forever grateful & so excited for more 🥹🌹
BIG LOVE by Charles Mee is about:
Love and Marriage – The play examines different perspectives on love, from romantic idealism to cynicism, and critiques traditional marriage as an institution tied to power and control rather than genuine connection.
2. Gender Roles and Power Struggles – The battle between men and women, as the brides resist their forced marriages and the grooms insist on their entitlement. The play questions societal expectations of masculinity and femininity.
3. Violence and Justice – The story grapples with the ethics of violence, both in self-defense and in revenge. The women’s drastic actions challenge ideas of justice and morality.
4. Freedom vs. Obligation – The characters struggle between personal desires and societal/familial duties, questioning whether tradition should dictate their lives.
5. Refuge and Displacement – The brides seek asylum in a foreign land, reflecting themes of immigration, exile, and the right to autonomy in a world that often denies it.
What an honor to experience & play in a story like this! Please read it if you haven’t ❤️🔥
