Something has been unearthed…Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize winning quintessential drama that digs deep into family dysfunction and the deterioration of the American dream. In the corn fields of Illinois, a squalid farm home is occupied by a family filled with suffering born of deep-seated unhappiness and violence. When a stranger returns, his persistent search for understanding and truth unearths a deep, dark, secret.

Event Name: Buried Child
"Dark with many great performances"
Review posted by: Cryastal* from Austin, TX, Feb 16, 2010
A chilling depiction of a heart broken and lost family. Incredible performances that are both haunting and delightful. One of City Theatre's best productions. Don't miss it.

Buried Child by S Shepard at City: dark, grotesque but comic cartoon of epic rural despair. Kudos: Wray Crawford. http://tinyurl.com/ydufee2

"Exceptional acting!"

It wasn't enough to see the best of Sam Shepard's work of a dysfunctional and suffering American family, but portrayed with such intensity, humor and emotion by a fine company of actors. Bravo!... Expand

The actors of Buried Child do a good job to relay the intensity of Sam Shepherd's play about the dysfunction of family. Wray Crawford, Stephen Cruz, and Errich Peterson give chilling performances.... Expand
