A tale of sibling rivalry on steroids, True West is surely Sam Shepard’s signature piece. Set in a suburban California kitchen, the play follows Austin – a successful screenwriter – and his estranged brother Lee – a drifter with a taste for chaos – as they clash over an emerging screenplay that could change the course of both their lives. A darkly comedic examination of identity, envy, and the destructive nature of competition, True West is a bona fide American classic.
