“True West” – City of Fairfax Theatre Company

Directed by Matt Chapman

Sam Shepard’s American classic follows the volatile relationship of Austin, an aspiring writer and Lee, recently released from prison, whose aspirations may be reliving his past or perhaps his brother’s future.  The estranged brothers find themselves holed up together in their mother’s tidy suburban home with a typewriter, a set of golf clubs and the undeniable struggles of a family with a conflicted past and an uncertain future.
​This unplanned family reunion wrestles with many questions about who we are and how we get there.
