True West explores the sibling rivalry of two estranged brothers, Austin, a screenwriter, and Lee, a petty thief, as they reconnect at their mother's house while she is away. The two butt heads as Austin struggles to focus on writing his screenplay with Lee's constant distraction. Tension builds between the brothers as they continue to clash, and explodes after a life-changing meeting with a Hollywood producer. This dark comedy masterfully explores themes of sibling rivalry, artistic passion, the American dream, and how people are more alike than they are different.
Commonweal Theatre Company is at 208 Parkway Ave N, Lanesboro, MN.
