Shattered Globe Theatre launches its 2016-17 season with a revival of Sam Shepard's quintessential American drama TRUE WEST, directed by James Yost, playing now through October 22, 2016 at Theater Wit 1229 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago. The press opening was Sunday, September 11 at 3 pm. BroadwayWorld has a fresh look at the cast in action below!

With deft direction by James Yost, Shattered Globe's production of TRUE WEST made for a solid first Sam Shepard experience for this critic. Kevin Viol and Joseph Wiens have cultivated a convincing and powerful dynamic as estranged brothers Austin and Lee, who are holed up at their mother's house in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Both actors' performances ground Shepard's drama and the uncomfortable rapport between the two siblings they portray provides some intense onstage moments.
