By Sam Shepard, directed by Michael Shamata. Featuring Joe Perry and Stafford Perry. A screenwriter retreats to his mother's house to finish a script — until his estranged, drifter brother shows up. What begins as a sibling rivalry soon unravels into a dark, absurdist power struggle that dismantles the myths of the American dream and the bonds that tie family together. Theatre Calgary production.
