The Unseen Hand & Back Bog Beast Bait

Sharing the same bill with Back Bog Beast Bait, The Unseen Hand, by Sam Shepard, is a haunting protest against the dehumanizing tendencies of modern societies and a powerful affirmation of the human spirit. The play moves after the “revolution” in a surrealistic and Kafkaesque world. Nogoland is the area ruled absolutely in which three brothers, old style desperadoes from the Wild West, have been summoned out of the 19th century by the single individual who is trying to throw off the yoke of his inhuman oppressors.

Back Bog Beast Bait, also by Sam Shepard, examines the dangers of ignorance, the power of superstition, and the tendency of the educated to exploit the uneducated.
