Sam Shepard's True West Staged in a Trailer

When Hamlet said, "The play's the thing," he may have been only half right. Sometimes, where the play is staged is equally interesting. Such is the case with the new production of a classic Sam Shepard play that's being performed in and around an Airstream trailer in the backyard of a house in Brookside. By Steve Walker
