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.

Very good performance by the grandfather. The play itself was interesting, and somewhat thought provoking. Can't rate it higher than 3 stars though.Written on Mar 12 2012

The subject of the play was quite dark but the execution was flawless and the acting great. It was one of those plays which stayed with me for the next couple of days and I enjoyed discussing it with others who attended it with me.Written on Mar 12 2012
