Theater works in alchemical ways, bridging liminal gaps between people from vastly different backgrounds. We challenge you to question your own hypocrisies by placing you into the shoes of two estranged siblings. Can two polar opposites see eye to eye? Could you?
“People are starved for the truth, and when something comes along that even looks like the truth, people will latch onto it because everything’s so false.”
―Sam Shepard
Themes explored in play:
- Identity
- Duality
- The Illusion of the American Dream
- Sibling Rivalry
“They take off after each other straight into an endless black prairie. The sun is just comin’ down and they can feel the night on their backs. What they don’t know is that each one of ‘em is afraid, see. Each one separately thinks that he’s the only one that’s afraid. And they keep ridin’ like that straight into the night. Not knowing. And the one who’s chasin’ doesn’t know where the other one is taking him. And the one who’s being chased doesn’t know where he’s going.”
―Excerpt from True West
