“True West” Playing in Sequim

The Sam Shepard play True West will be playing at the Guy Cole Convention Center in Carrie Blake Park. The play is being put on by Olympic Theater Arts. Opening date is April 17th. Check out this site for more information.

I saw a televised version of True West on PBS in the early ‘80s. The two brothers were played by Gary Sinise and John Malkovich — probably the earliest acting gigs for both of them. Sam Shepard’s plays are a bleak commentary on the human condition, but laced with absurdity and dark humor.
