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

I don't think many in the audience enjoyed the Act 1 excerpts from Mr. Schwartz's new opera. I do enjoy opera and a couple of the songs were nice, but taking excerpts out of the opera context (not all were arias) did little to help me appreciate his new work.Written on Aug 24 2009
The second act was very enjoyable, and most singers quite talented. Of course, there was the crazy man who sang - excuse me, SHOUTED - "No Good Deed" after making his entrance by running down the hillside. My guess was that he was the comedy relief.
The evening left me pondering what ever happened to the art of diction.
