True West is widely understood to be one of Sam Shepard’s most potent plays. The performance projects a grim slice of Americana, profiling two estranged brothers: a Hollywood screenwriter and a petty thief.
“Shepard’s masterwork… It tells us a truth, as glimpsed by a 37-year-old genius.” – New York Post
“I wanted to write a play about double nature, one that wouldn’t be symbolic or metaphorical or any of that stuff. I just wanted to give a taste of what it feels like to be two-sided. It’s a real thing, double nature. I think we’re split in a much more devastating way than psychology can ever reveal. It’s not so cute. Not some little thing we can get over. It’s something we’ve got to live with.” – Sam Shepard
