"As embodied by a brilliant Ethan Hawke and a tightly wired Paul Dano, sibling rivalry has seldom felt this ominous. Shepard’s wild West just got a lot scarier."

, The New York Times

Opposites attack in Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play about two brothers with more in common than they think.

Broadway fireworks don’t get more combustible than this powerhouse new production—on Broadway through March 17 only. Two of this generation’s hottest actors face off as estranged brothers in an empty California home, and the sparks truly fly.

The New York Times says, “Ethan Hawke delivers a faultless performance, probably his best ever onstage, and The Wall Street Journal says, “everything Paul Dano does is excitingly surprising.” Don’t miss director James MacDonald’s suspenseful, smoldering True West. “It’s as funny as it is serious, as entertaining as it is profound” (New York Stage Review).
