Brothers in Conflict
Brutal and •

Profile Theater opens the final
play of the current Sam Shepard
season, True West. Performances
begin Thursday, Nov. 6 and run
through Nov. 23 on the Alder Stage
at Artists Repertory Theatre, 1515
S.W. Morrison St.
True West follows a few tumultu­
ous days in the lives of brothers Lee
and Austin, examining their rela­
tionship as they manage fraternal
conflicts through brutal, and some­
times disturbingly funny, means.
Many critics see this work as one
o f the award-winning playwright’s
“family quintet” of plays. Profile
Theater presented Shepard’s other
family dramas with a film screening
of “Fool for Love” in 2013, staged
readings of “A Lie of the Mind” in
July, and “Curse of the Starving
Class” in October, and a main stage
production of “Buried Child” in June.
