True West

Austin, a Hollywood screenwriter living comfortably in suburban Arizona, is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of his prodigal brother Lee, whose threatening, confrontational attitude draws Austin further and further into conflict until he must finally engage his brother in an intense psychological battle for his self-respect, his ideals, and perhaps his very life. Sam Shepard’s True West is a darkly comic look deep into a sibling rivalry, permeated by a tension that seems on the verge of exploding at every moment.
