​

Opposites attack in Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play about two brothers with more in common than they think. Holed up in their mother’s California house, screenwriter Austin (Dano) and lowlife Lee (Hawke) wrestle with big issues—and each other. Order vs. chaos. Art vs. commerce. Typewriter vs. toaster...Shepard’s rip-roaring classic returns to Broadway, gleefully detonating our misguided myths of family, identity and the American Dream.

 

The creative team includes Mimi Lien (sets), Kaye Voyce (costumes),

Jane Cox (lights), Bray Poor (music and sound), Tom Watson (hair and wig), Kate Wilson (dialect consultant), Thomas Schall (fight choreographer) and Stephen Milosevich (production stage manager).
