Go Back True West

The Washington College Department of Theatre & Dance Presents:

True West by Sam Shepard

Directed by Prof. Dale Daigle and Julia Stanley '24

This American classic explores alternatives that might spring from the demented terrain of the California landscape. Sons of a desert-dwelling alcoholic and a suburban wanderer clash over a film script. Austin, the achiever, is working on a script he has sold to producer Sal Kimmer when Lee, a demented petty thief, drops in. He pitches his own idea for a movie to Kimmer, who then wants Austin to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee's trashy Western tale.

Please be advised this production contains strong language, violence, and alcohol use.
