More Sheparding

True West is another play by Sam Shepard.  And I really enjoyed this one, too!
This is the story of two brothers, one an education, ivy-league writer and one a drifter, thief.
They haven't seen each other in a while and the two come together at their mother's home while mom is visiting Alaska.
One of the reviewers on goodreads.com said that the whole play was character development and that is totally true.
Great play, powerful, nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1983.  And until right now I didn't know "nominated" meant actually won!  So now I have read two Pulitzer Prize Winning Dramas.  And I liked them!
