“True West” at the Pittsburgh Public Theater

The Pittsburgh Tatler: Sam Shepard is a master spelunker of the subterranean violence that haunts the American family, many of his plays revealing, and revelling in, the deeply-held desires and resentments that fuel dysfunction and conflict. In True West, the battle is between two brothers: Austin (Ken Barnett), the younger, is an up-and-coming screenwriter; Lee (David Mogentale), the elder, is a homeless, mentally unstable drunk who steals televisions for a living.
