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

We laughed ourselves silly. We four were ages 13 to 60noneofyourbusiness, and we all agreed it was great. Our seatmates (not sharing the same seats, mind you) brought hollowed out coconut halves to clack along with a song in the second act. Just added to the fun for us.Written on Jul 11 2009
Highly scatalogical, which means the things you should only do alone, but don't, and every bit of it funny.
Great voices, we could here everything. Loved all the actors, singers and dancers. Go. Buy your tickets now. I mean it. What are you still doing reading this. Go.

This is such a great, funny show! As a huge Monty Python fan, I loved all the references to not only the movie, but other Monty Python gags and songs as well. The cast was really solid with strong acting and singing skills. I think Eric Idle reveled in the idea of making a version of the Holy Grail that was even sillier than the movie, which he succeeded in doing! Get there a bit early to read about the "East Finland Moose Ballet" in the program. I was laughing before the show even started!Written on Jul 13 2009

Very funny and enjoyable play. We had a wacky, silly, fun time at the Ahmanson. The production was great and suitable for the venue. We were seated at the far end of the second level but we can still see the actors reasonably well.Written on Jul 16 2009

Quotes & Highlights
- “Plenty of laughs...rousing score. A great date-night musical. Within the heart of each of the remarkable group of knights and louts who make up the cast beats the soul of a rollicking, witty clown.” --The Hollywood Reporter
- “Outlandish production numbers...Sumptuous sets and costumes.” --Variety
- “Snazzy choreography...Monty Python has a way of coaxing you into its giddy time machine for a journey that, no matter how far-flung, usually ends up in the troupe’s delightfully familiar backyard of anachronistic zaniness.” --Los Angeles Times
