True West will be performed in the Cabot House Theater.

Successful screenwriter Austin and petty thief Lee are estranged brothers from different worlds. When they reunite in their mom’s California kitchen, where Austin is working out a screenplay deal, Lee comes up with his own big idea and steals much more than just the neighbors’ TV. Challenges are issued, drinks are downed, and in the end Austin and Lee find that they might not be such opposites after all. This dynamic, darkly funny play by iconic American playwright Sam Shepard is a tale of sibling rivalry, brotherly love, and stolen toasters.
