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

I love this theater. Every seat has a good view and the acting is always superb. The play istelf was very enlightening and thought provoking. For those of you thinking this is a Rock N Roll musical, please read about the play before attending.Written on Feb 15 2010

I recommend you take time to read the program or check out the website before viewing. The production is more about politics then it is about rock and roll but that said I really enjoyed it. There are strong performances particularly by Jonathan Rhys Willams as Jan and Ayla Yarkut as Eleanor.Written on Feb 14 2010

Rock 'n' Roll is annother fine example of Tom Stoppard's writing. This is not "Shakespeare in Love." However, the music sets the tone for the political events that are unfolding. Lots of interesting themes. The Stage Theater cast did a great job of bringing the script to life. The space is comfortable for the show and the lighting effects are creative. Enjoy!Written on Feb 12 2010

Description
This extraordinary theatrical event, nominated for four Tony Awards and three Drama Desk Awards, makes its South Bay Premiere in a uniquely intimate production at The Stage. It’s August 1968, and Russian tanks are rolling in to Prague. Jan, a Czech student, lives for rock music; Max, an English professor, lives for Communism; and Esme, the flower child, is high. By 1990, the tanks are rolling out, The Stones are rolling in and idealism has hit the wall. Stoppard’s sweeping and passionate play spans two countries, three generations and 22 turbulent years, at the end of which, love remains — and so does rock ’n’ roll.
