True West at The Roustabouts Theatre Co.

Description

The Roustabouts Theatre Co  proudly presents TRUE WEST, a Pulitzer Prize finalist when first produced in 1989. Step into the raw and riveting world of Sam Shepard's "True West," where the blistering heat of the California desert mirrors the searing tensions between estranged brothers, Austin and Lee. Set against the backdrop of a suburban house, this modern American classic unravels a primal struggle for identity and dominance as the siblings confront their turbulent past and uncertain futures. With dark humor and relentless intensity, TRUE WEST explores the fragile line between civilization and chaos, posing profound questions about authenticity, ambition, and the untamed wilderness within us all. Is the search for the American dream, and is it enough?“ Production runs March 27 to April 13, 2025.
