True West
July 12 - August 24
Written by: Sam Shepard
Directed by: Terry Martin
True West tells the story of two estranged brothers, Austin and Lee, who are reunited in their mother’s suburban California home. Over the course of the play, the brothers’ relationship becomes increasingly volatile as they confront their own failures and resentments. True West is a darkly comedic exploration of the American Dream, sibling rivalry, and the nature of identity. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1983.

Audience Reviews
What People Are Saying
The greatest compliment that I can pay to this tremendously powerful production [...] is that for almost two and a half hours I did not once squirm in my seat, check the time, or maybe even take a breath. This Cat on a Hot Tin Roof redefines riveting theater.
Doug Sturdivant
DFW Center Stage
True art is to address challenging topics and weave in a thick thread of humor; Folsom's vision made this art possible. Don't miss out on the realization of this vision of a Checkhov classic.

In the relatively recent history of The Classics Theatre Project, I have stood in awe of their brilliance for staging from the theatre canon, and making them vibrant, accessible and relevant. Their treatments are intelligent and entertaining, with a keen and kinetic spin.
