TRUE
Opposites attack in Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play about two brothers with more in common than they think.
Holed up in their mother’s California house, lowlife Lee (Ethan Hawke) and screenwriter Austin (Paul Dano) wrestle with big issues—and each other.
Order vs. chaos. Art vs. commerce. Typewriter vs. toaster… Shepard’s rip-roaring classic returns to Broadway, gleefully detonating our misguided myths of family, identity and the American Dream. Directed by James Macdonald.

_____________________
From the playwright:
“I wanted to write a play about double nature, one that wouldn’t be symbolic or metaphorical or any of that stuff. I just wanted to give a taste of what it feels like to be two-sided. It’s a real thing, double nature. I think we’re split in a much more devastating way than psychology can ever reveal. It’s not so cute. Not some little thing we can get over. It’s something we’ve got to live with.”
—Sam Shepard
