Buried Child
A scene of madness greets Vince and his girlfriend as they arrive at the squalid farmhouse of Vince's hard-drinking grandparents, who seem to have no idea who he is. Nor does his father, Tilden, a hulking former All-American footballer, or his uncle, who has lost one of his legs to a chain saw. Only the memory of an unwanted child, buried in an undisclosed location, can hope to deliver this family from its sin.

What people are saying
reader and theatergoer
Reasons to love live theater, 201. At long last, a Sam Shepard play is on Broadway. It's a dark, rip-roaring beauty, Steppenwolf's production of the Shepard masterwork "Buried Child," in 1996, in which home is the the house of horrors you can never return to and never escape. https://t.co/nhwT9Z6qHk
