True West

Playwright: Sam Shepard

Directed by: William Whitaker

April 12 - 28, 2018

 

Starring: Isaiah Di Lorenzo, William Humphrey, Susan Kopp and William Roth*

​

This American classic explores alternatives that might spring from the demented terrain of the California landscape. Sons of a desert-dwelling alcoholic and a suburban wanderer clash over a film script. Austin, the achiever, is working on a script he has sold to producer Sal Kimmer when Lee, a demented petty thief, drops in. He pitches his own idea for a movie to Kimmer, who then wants Austin to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee's trashy Western tale.
