If audience members have tickets for tonight and would like to reschedule for a different performance, or receive a refund, they should contact their point of purchase."
McClain and Weiner also went on for the Nov. 7 matinee performance.

"Holed up in a seedy motel on the edge of the Mojave Desert, two former lovers unpack the deep secrets and dark desires of their tangled relationship, passionately tearing each other apart," according to press notes. "Beaten down by ill-fated love and a ruthless struggle for identity, can they ultimately live with, or without, each other?"
Fool for Love is presented in association with Williamstown Theatre Festival.
The creative team includes Dane Laffrey (scenic design), Anita Yavich (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), Ryan Rumery (sound design) and David S. Leong (movement and fights).
