    American Dead is an elegiac rendering of the death of another American small town. The story is deceptively simple, often humorous. As a man grieves for his murdered sister his town continues wasting away, having been blighted by the closing of industry, the death of the family farm and the prevalence of methamphetamine.

    More Information

    The West Coast Premiere of AMERICAN DEAD brings some of this generations best writing, directing, and acting to life in Los Angeles. Award winning playwright Brett Neveu taps the comical dramatic vein of a small American town as it erodes, making a normal life untenable for some..and inspired survivors out of others! Originally commissioned by Steppenwolf.

    A very powerful, yet smartly subtle observation of the human condition.
