A newly revised edition of an American classic, Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize—winning Buried Child is as fierce and unforgettable as it was when it was first produced more than twenty-five years ago. A scene of madness greets Vince and his girlfriend as they arrive at the squalid farmhouse of Vince’s hard-drinking grandparents, who seem to have no idea who he is. Nor does his father, Tilden, a hulking former All-American footballer, or his uncle, who has lost one of his legs to a chain saw. Only the memory of an unwanted child, buried in an undisclosed location, can hope to deliver this family From the Trade Paperback edition.

This piece is one hundred percent dark, twisted, and wonderful. I did, however, feel that after reading it I wanted to give Mr. Shepard a hug and a plate of tiny tacos to feel better.
I admire the scripts when they're well acted, but they're too reliant on performance to be interesting to read. And may I also add that as much as I admire Shepard (and I really do), I'm so grateful not to be living in his miserable world.
