True West

This long running Off-Broadway hit concerns Austin, an aspiring Hollywood screenwriter who lives in his mother’s house. He is visited by his older brother Lee, a drifter and a drunk like their father. Enter a trendy film producer. Austin has sold a romantic script to the producer, but Lee convinces the guy to accept HIS “script” instead, a contemporary “true western.” The tables are turned, for Lee is not a writer–he can’t even type, and Austin won’t help. As always with Shepard, the play is a superb exploration of the contradictions and promises of American life.
