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

Some funny moments and a great cast, but the material is too juvenile overall.

The play itself was a mess, but the performances were really great, and it was well worth it just to see Billy Connolly, Tim Curry, Eric Idle, Eddie Izzard, Jane Leeves, Emily Mortimer, Jim Piddock and Tracy Ullman perform live.

This was definitely a rare event! Great small venue to see this amazing cast at. The sound tech was also a very good performer.

More Information About What About Dick?: Staged Reading

Description

<p>Only once in a lifetime there comes a cast like this -- Billy Connolly, Tim Curry, Eric Idle, Eddie Izzard, Jane Leeves, Emily Mortimer, Jim Piddock, and Tracy Ullman -- well twice actually in this case since there are only two performances.  But if you miss both occasions then you can tell your grandchildren you weren't there either of the days they did that thing you missed.  The music is by Idle's Spamalot partner John Du Prez and the sound effects artist is Tony Palermo.  This exclusive pre-sale offers enables Goldstar members to buy tickets first, before the public (and hopefully you will buy them all and you will have the place to yourselves and no one else will get in).
</p> <p>In this new play from Grammy, Tony and Drama Desk Award winning author Eric Idle, a lowbrow comedy about highbrow people, eight actors are gathered together to perform a classic radio drama What About Dick? live on stage at the original Lux Radio Theater in 1948 (now the Ricardo Montalbán.)
