True West

Event Flyer

True West follows the story of two estranged brothers, Austin and Lee. Austin has a successful budding career in the film industry. He is house sitting for his mother in southern California while she is away in Alaska.  He plans to work in peace and quiet on a new screenplay to sell to Saul (a movie producer.) Lee, his older brother, a petty thief and a drifter, unexpectedly shows up and proceeds to disrupt Austin’s life, eventually managing to take over the writing (and selling) the screenplay himself. The clash between the two results in an explosive confrontation that reveals the dual nature of their personalities, and their secret desires to trade their lives for what the other (seemingly) has.

 

True West by Sam Shepard. Directed by Mike Wise.

   I prefer comedies and musicals, so sometimes this seemed slow to me, but it was well acted and professionally mounted.

     The actors were great but the play was depressing. Six people one row ahead of us left at intermission.

   Same emotions throughout, just rage and anger, needed more variety of emotions.

   Amazing acting by the two brothers. It was the last day of the play and not one person seemed to forget a line. Both actors who played the brothers did an excellent job! (Benjamin Ramsey and Nick Check)

   All was well, but due to my hearing sensitivity the loud, angry voices were a bit uncomfortable.

   We left with alot of other people. The characters Fighting over the car, writing down the ideas for A play, just felt so juvenile and stupid.

 I thought it was great - the actors were so talented. The kids didn't like the script, but I think they haven't lived and failed enough in life yet to understand why it was so good.

   I always enjoy the energy of live theater and I wasn’t disappointed this time. The actors and their expressions of raw emotion were very believable. I will be back for more!

 It was not a play I would have chosen for the audience in Las Cruces, which are people who like to be entertained not listening to a fighting match. However, I commend the actors. Both of the lead characters were spot on. They were extremely believable antagonists. They gave their characters such believability that I felt nearly "at home", having grown up in that sort of environment. But, I left that behind, which is how I feel about the play. The play was very well written.

 The acting was poor, the performance was loud, annoying, obnoxious, and too much profanity which was unnecessary.

   From the first scene, the actors were yelling at each other, and continued to yell at each other all the way through. 1) No relationship established as brothers. 2) No understanding of Shepard's play.
