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

Description
Tarell Alvin McCraney, one of America’s most acclaimed young writers and the winner of the inaugural New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, returns to The Public with a trilogy of modern-day stories of kinship, love, heartache and coming-of-age centered around an extended family and community in the Bayou. McCraney’s stories traverse the gritty and lyrical, urban and mythic.
Be among the first to hear the words of one of the most startling new voices of the 21st century, who is thrilling audiences around the globe by pushing the boundaries of language, form, and sexuality in provocative, musical and poetic ways. This trilogy can be viewed independently, or in either order, but have a special resonance when experienced together.
Part 2: The Brothers Size/Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet
Reconceived as part of the trilogy since it premiered as part of The Public’s 2007-2008 season, The Brothers Size is a taut, rhythmic and playful drama follows two brothers as they walk the line between law and liberty, locked in a fierce tug-of-war for their own souls and a test of their fraternal bond.
Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet is a beautiful and touching tale of a young man's awakening to his tenuous connections with his history, his friends, his sexuality, and himself.
