Our challenge, I suppose, is to be adaptive to what comes along without giving up the wisdom and glories of the past.

BWW Review: Existential AGE OF MAN at Ensemble
by Roy Berko - Nov 17, 2015
Sam Shepard, the author of AGES OF THE MOON, now on stage at Ensemble Theatre, is noted for writing plays that are frank and often absurd. His language choice is gritty, the setting is the American west, and his characters usually self-destruct. He sometimes includes in his stage directions the requirement that part of the set is to be demolished, much like the lives of the people about whom he writes. The actions of the actors carry out these destructions. AGES OF THE MOON is no exception.
