Revival
Oscar & Tony nominee Ethan Hawke and Golden Globe nominee Paul Dano star in a new production of Sam Shepard's Tony and Pulitzer Prize-nominated drama True West, directed by James Macdonald (The Children). Shepard, Hawke, and Dano all have long standing artistic relationships, with Hawke being a longtime collaborator and friend of the late Sam Shepard. Hawke has also acted alongside Dano on film (Taking Lives) and has directed him on stage (Things We Want).

SYNOPSIS:

Austin is a straitlaced screenwriter on the verge of selling his next script. His brother Lee is a blustering drifter just back from three months in the Mojave desert. When Lee charms his way into Austin’s movie deal, they begin to transform into each other in a conflict that crescendos into chaos.

A finalist for the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, True West is a wry exploration of duality, masculinity, and the mythos of the American west.
