Buried Child
By Sam Shepard

May 2 - 12, 2018
The Cellar Theatre

In a decrepit, decaying farmhouse in Illinois, grandson Vince returns home with his girlfriend Shelly. But when they arrive, nothing is what it used to be. Inside; secrets, lies, betrayal and bones are unearthed from the ground, as this Norman Rockwell gone wrong family divulge the tale of a morbid past and haunting future.
Buried Child is an intimate and intense drama that shatters the image of the American dream. This Pulitzer Prize winning play “keeps one riveted as Shepard’s attacks the familiar household gods” Michael Billington, The Guardian.
Shepard presents an honest and true reflection of a humanity, deseminating the ideas of prosperity, wealth, success and ‘Make America Great Again’ family values; leaving you with a vividly daunting picture of reality. This play is a wild ride that you don’t want to miss.
