True West at Theatre Calgary

True West, written by Sam Shepard, is a sharp exploration of sibling rivalry and the complexities of the American dream. Directed by Michael Shamata, the play follows Austin, a disciplined screenwriter, and his estranged brother Lee, a drifter, whose unexpected reunion leads to a volatile battle for recognition and control. Featuring Calgary brothers Joe Perry and Stafford Perry, the production delves into themes of identity and ambition, as long-buried resentments surface. The show runs from February 2 to February 21, 2027, at Theatre Calgary.
