Here's something Charles Mee had to say about the play, "Big Love", which is the last of a trilogy:
“The three plays come from my life with Laurie Williams,
who is an actress with whom I lived for the past five
years. So all these thoughts, relationships and strange and
beautiful and painful things are from the life we had
together. I think she was my first love in life, in spite of
my advanced age when I fell in love with her, which was
57. She was certainly my true love. It happened suddenly,
in a millisecond. And it ended just as suddenly about six
months ago. I think the plays have in them the reasons
we found each other and the reasons we broke apart.”
Chuck Mee
