Buried Child: Sam Shepard's Pulitzer-Winning Family Drama
- Full Price:
- $20.00 - $45.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00 - $22.50
Set during the rural economic slowdown of the 1970s, playwright Sam Shepard's universally acclaimed Buried Child resonates as strongly today as it did when it launched Shepard's career in 1978. A Pulitzer winner for drama, Buried Child makes for a fierce, forceful and unforgettable portrayal of the realities of the American Dream. The realistic masterpiece mixes comedy and drama, keen commentary and deep emotion in a squalid farm home occupied by a clan filled with suppressed violence, apparent unhappiness and dark secrets. Kenneth Kelleher directs this San Jose Stage Company production. Learn More

Wear low heeled shoes - the floor is uneven and quite dark.

Irish Bistro or Sola, both within 100 yards, are exceptional.

Take the Brown Line to the Irving Park stop. the theatre is a short 3-4 block from there.

opportunities to witness truly groundbreaking and freshly creative theatre can be rare. i count myself fortunate to have been able to see this work in its formative phase. it's original and cheeky and fun. like Urinetown it has dialogue and lyrics directed at the audience. i have a hard time seeing Yeast Nation make it to Broadway without re-writes or larger production numbers added. Urinetown was so great because it was the anti-musical that embraced and poked fun at production numbers but Yeast Nation scores with a great cast and excellent voices. the set and costume design were also very good.Written on Oct 26 2009

The show was very original and at times very funny. The songs seemed pretty good as well. But the whole thing was just a bit too obtuse to feel truly wonderful.Written on Sep 28 2009

This was one of the worst plays I have seen in a long time. The musical direction was really awful - the music was so loud that most of the time it was almost impossible to understand the lyrics. Guess lots of others liked it, but we certainly didn't.Written on Oct 26 2009

I really really wanted to like it, but all of the songs sounded the same. At times you could barely hear the performers over the accompanying music. I had been looking forward to this performance too....Written on Oct 19 2009
