Sam Shepard Evening, Four Plays of American Disillusionment
Hollywood Fight Club Theater (Hollywood, CA)
Rated 3.0 by 1 member who went.
Poignant moments and ridiculous scenarios come together in what can only be the surreal style of Sam Shepard. Curse of the Starving Class, Fool For Love, Buried Child, and True West reveal American family life is not a Norman Rockwell painting. All four plays dealing with the myths of the All-American family and the American dream will be presented.

<p>Four highly acclaimed plays dealing with the myth of the All-American family and the pursuit of the American dream are featured in the Sam Shepard Evening. Contemporary and controversial issues addressed include America’s current debt problem, the animalistic attraction of incest, sibling rivalry, and buried family secrets. A dash of alcoholism, love and violence round out the evening. Filled with recognizable symbolism and metaphors, the characters’ economic struggles are struggles to attain the American dream. Characters’ yearning for food to nourish them are actually yearning for family to nourish them. Curse of the Starving Class, Fool for Love, Buried Child, and True West offer a dynamic evening intense with drama and shocking revelations. </p>
