Sonder House Productions makes its debut with Sam Shepard’s 1980 classic True West. Like much of Shepard’s work, the play centers on a potentially explosive familial relationship: two estranged brothers are reunited unexpectedly in the heat of the Californian desert.
True West is Sam Shepard's classic 1980 tale of sibling rivalry. Austin, a budding screenwriter house-sitting for his mother outside L.A., finds himself reconnected by chance with his estranged and criminal older brother, Lee. In the heat of the California night, jealousy and mistrust bubble beneath the surface, threatening to destroy what little the brothers have. According to the National Review, “True West still rings true and stands as the greatest American drama since Long Day’s Journey Into Night.”
