True West
by Sam Shepard
translated by Pierre Legris

Two brothers: Austin, a screenwriter with a well-ordered life and Lee, who is into burglaries, dog fights and who knows what. Their reminiscences in the maternal home are marked by friction, until the arrival of a producer who is more enthusiastic about Lee’s "true stories" than Austin’s fiction. Then everything goes to pieces …..

Up with the three greats of the American theatre, O’Neill, Miller and Williams, there is now Sam Shepard. In this tale of feuding brothers told at breakneck speed, Shepard reveals the profound contradictions of North American society.

After Le Chien and Un Oiseau Vivant dans la Gueule, Roy Dupuis and Brigitte Haentjens teamed once again in a disturbing, powerful theatrical creation.
