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

Quotes & Highlights
- "A witty and erudite blend of Stephen Jay Gould and Tom Lehrer, Darwin is a journey through the legacy of the great man and his history...the smartest show in town." --Time Out, New York
Description
Students and adults from Los Angeles to Australia have found this show delightfully entertaining and informative. Richard Milner's show traces Darwin's voyages of discovery, his rush to finish the Origin of Species, the Scopes Trial, and the current controversies surrounding the theory of evolution.
Milner has also introduced several new songs, including a showbiz fantasy about Jimmy Durante as the discoverer of natural selection, and a Gilbert & Sullivan tribute to his childhood friend Stephen Jay Gould, the paleontologist and evolutionist. Milner has recently released a CD of all the songs in the show.
