| Description |
On the strength of Gale Edwards'potent production, Buried Child has not only stood the test of time but has also accrued considerable power in the light of recent savage events. As Australia confronts its own hidden truths, Sam Shepard's classic work is a timely reminder of the bitter harvest of a family, poisoned by rancour and a crushing lack of honesty, held in thrall to a crime carefully concealed in the past. Vince's homecoming to a rural family and landscape long emptied of hope and fertility forces a vilent reckoning between a pitiless past and the possibilities for redemption. |
