Publicity & Reviews
-
“Five years in the making, Cadence Theatre Company’s True West serves up Sam Shepard’s dark comedy about sibling rivalry and the legacy of the American West.”
-
“Sam Shepard takes us on a journey to his "true west," the mythos destination of the American male, from two perspectives. It's one hell of a ride!”
— Bruce Miller, Full Circle
-
"Both Nagel and Rice shine in their respective roles. Rusty Wilson’s direction keeps things moving so that I was startled when intermission arrived and appropriately stunned at the ending. There’s truly no way to prepare, just hang onto the edge of your seats and go along for a truly wild ride.”
