Overview

This sold out run of a landmark American classic by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Sam Shepard examines the male psyche through an explosive, darkly comic tale of sibling rivalry. This critically acclaimed masterpiece of modern theatre is a searing portrait of blood brothers – polar opposites, inextricably linked, whose savage relationship embodies their country’s pent-up resentments. This fiery new production is directed by ACA alumni and AMAW Master Teacher Georgina Symes in her directorial debut, starring Austin Hayden and Ryan Bown.
