True West

The Sydney Theatre Company's 2010 season continues it's North American flavour with Sam Shepard's 'True West'.
Two brothers, one a budding Hollywood screen writer and the other a drifter burglar with a persuasive manner, lock horns in their mother's home whilst she is absent in Alaska. Quite funny at times I found this an odd work. The set takes a destructive pounding as the play unfolds and aspects of the action didn't ring true to me. However Brendan Cowell and Wayne Blair are impressive in their roles as the brothers and they carried the night.
