Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of True West is set to begin performances December 27 at the American Airlines Theatre ahead of a January 24, 2019, opening. The production of Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, directed by James Macdonald, is scheduled for a limited engagement through March 17.
True West stars Tony and Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke and Golden Globe nominee Paul Dano as Austin and Lee respectively. The production also stars Marylouise Burke and Gary Wilmes.

In True West, two brothers—one, a moderately successful screenwriter (Dano), the other, a drifter (Hawke)—reunite in their mother's California home, leading to the airing of old resentments and some unexpected twists in the relationship.
The Roundabout revival will feature a creative team that includes Tony Award winner Mimi Lien (sets), Obie winner Kaye Voyce (costumes), and Tony nominee Jane Cox (lights).
