True West

Gloucester Stage (a.k.a. Gorton Theatre)
267 East Main Street Gloucester

A true American classic exploring the alternatives that spring from the demented terrain of the California landscape, Sam Shepard's True West follows estranged brothers Lee and Austin as they meet up in their mother's suburban home. Austin's there to work on his latest screenplay, while Lee drops in to scour the surrounding houses for valuable appliances to pilfer. Instead, Lee steals the thunder from his brother, pitching his own story to Austin's producer and setting off a darkly-humored rivalry that results in some surprising admissions. Watch the internal revolutions of the two brothers unfold on the Gloucester Stage with direction by Joe Short.
