If you visit Sam Shepard country expect to find bayous, deserts,
and junkyards where dreams rust alongside abandoned '51 Chevys. Prepare to
meet broken gunmen and refugees from distant galaxies, slavering swamp
things and California Highway Patrolmen gone high-tech and blood simple
It is a country whose creator does nothing less than renew America's myths
And sometimes he invents them from scratch
In these fourteen darkly funny, furiously energetic early works for the theater, our most audacious living playwright sets genres and archetypes spinning, with results that are utterly mesmerizing
The Plays include ...
The Rock Garden & Chicago & Icarus's Mother & 4-H Club & Fourteen Hundred Thousand & Red Cross & Cowboys #2 & Forensic and the Navigators & The Holy Ghostly & Operation Sidewinder & The Mad Dog Blues Back Bog Beast Bait
