Fiery, doomed love isn’t just for gay cowboys; prairie girls can get it real bad, too. In this play by local writer Melanie Marnich, a young, small-town wife succumbs to a crush on a handsome neighbor, and becomes entangled in a dangerous constellation of personalities and tempers. Based loosely on the 1622 play The Changeling, this brutal romance covers the heady intoxication of new love and the bloody and terrifying repercussions of infidelity in a deceptively wholesome Midwestern setting. 820 18th Ave. N.E., Minneapolis; 612-605-8497; www.emigranttheater.org
