Rating:
Summary: Dark Comedy at it's best
Review: These are the best dark comedy plays I have ever seen. The true west is a work of art. All of these plays are top of the line. Dark comedy at it's best. If you are an actor, or just interested in the arts I suggest this book. You won't find this many well written plays in one book in a long time. Sam Shepard is a true genius.

Summary: Primal Drama Unleashed on Americana
Review: This is one of the most intense collection of plays that I have ever read. Sam Shepard has a knack for grabbing you with dark, brooding characters whose primal needs aren't just shown onstage- they drive the plot. Characters aren't simply hungry, they're ravenous. Shepard writes dramas that place us in familiar settings, but there are tribal battles being waged that both repulse and captivate. "Buried Child" was my first introduction to theatre drama and I've never seen drama in the same way. One sign of Shepard's brilliance is the fact that every time I read one of these plays, I find something new. Truly, one of the most remarkable reads that you could ever buy.
