Buried Child by Sam Shepard

September 23, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$12.51

Buried Child by Sam Shepard, directed by Evan Jones.

A talkback with the director and cast to follow each Sunday performance.

The setting is a squalid farm home occupied by a family filled with suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness. The characters are a ranting alcoholic grandfather; a sanctimonious grandmother who goes on drinking bouts with the local minister; and their sons, Tilden, an All-American footballer now a hulking semi-idiot; and Bradley, who has lost one leg to a chain saw. Into their midst comes Vince, a grandson none of them recognizes or remembers, and his girlfriend, Shelly, who cannot comprehend the madness to which she is suddenly introduced. The family harbors a dark secret, creating a cloud of guilt.

Buried Child was a winner of the 1979 Pulitzer Prize!
