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

More Information About Bash: The Latter-Day Plays
Description
Neil LaBute has a reputation for exploring the darker side of life. In New American Theatre Project’s last production, The Shape of Things, LaBute's bleak mind saw human emotions being played with to create an art show; in Bash, he sees matter-of-fact brutality in which ordinary individuals with rather colorless characteristics inflict pain on themselves and others. The show begs the question: What happens when the sin follows you home? Bash is a testament to human nature and its unyielding philosophical belief that "life must go on." What happens in Sin City stays here.

Neil LaBute was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Spokane, Washington. He attended Brigham Young University and did graduate work at the University of Kansas, NYU and the Royal Academy of London. As a playwright and screenwriter, LaBute has been widely celebrated for his edgy and often unsettling renderings of human relationships. Stark cruelty and shockingly honest portrayals of sex and romance also dominate many of his films, including "Your Friends & Neighbors" and "In the Company of Men," the latter of which was adapted from his play of the same title and won Sundance’s Filmmaker’s Trophy in 1997. In 2003, LaBute directed the film version of "The Shape of Things," starring the original theatrical cast, including Rachel Weisz and Paul Rudd.
