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

This is one of the greatest comedies and it's hard to mess it up. The acting was good and overall, the play was enjoyable.Written on Oct 26 2009
There are three acts with a brief intermission between Acts 1 and 2. There are also snacks for sale.
For the price of a movie ticket, this is a great alternative date night and a wonderful way to support community theater.

This is a classic play and one every theatre lover should see at least once. That is both a plus and a minus in this case - the language is so witty that it's hard to go wrong, but those who are familiar with the play or who have seen it before are likely to find it disappointing. Several members of the cast seem uncomfortable, and on the night we went, there were several muffed lines. I agree with another rater who notes that this is not of the caliber of last year's Amadeus - but that said, it's a great way to spend an evening in intimate surroundings and to support community theatre. The cucumber sandwiches offered at intermission add a nice touch, but they were very soggy - perhaps better to stick to the lemon bars.Written on Nov 02 2009

Excellent acting. This play was a great rendition of Oscar Wilde's book, down to the line. Strangely enough, it was performed in a church, but it worked well. Great snacks and refreshments as well.Written on Nov 02 2009
