About the play

Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Buried Child is a powerful and brilliant dark comedy that probes deep into the disintegration of the American Dream. This play is set in an old farm house, somewhere in Illinois. There is Dodge, an cranky, sarcastic alcoholic on his death bed, and his chatty, oblivious wife Halie. As Dodge’s health devolves, the prodigal sons return: Tilden, who has come back into town after having run into some trouble in New Mexico, and Bradley, who seems to live nearby and only has one leg, having lost his other one in a chainsaw accident. Their lives are a whirlwind of chaos and confusion. Into their midst comes Vince, a grandson none of them recognizes or remembers, and his girlfriend, Shelly, who cannot comprehend the madness to which she is suddenly introduced. The family harbors a dark secret.
