In this ongoing series, a variety of island directors gathers island actors and friends to read new, classic and prize-winning plays.
This week, On Book! features True West, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard and John Davis. It is a character study that examines the relationship between two brothers. As conflict arises between them, their roles are reversed suddenly, and each man finds himself admitting that he had always wished he was the other.
Featuring John Davis, Daniel Finn, Jackie Altier Roth and Darian Oliver.
“It’s clear, funny, naturalistic,” says the San Francisco Chronicle of True West. “It’s also opaque, terrifying, surrealistic. If that sounds contradictory, you’re onto one aspect of Shepard’s winning genius – the ability to make you think you’re watching one thing while at the same time, he’s presenting another.”
Doors open at 7 p.m. and there will be festival seating.
Admission: Free
Dates/Times: February 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Location: San Juan Community Theatre, 100 2nd St. N.
