Curse of the Starving Class opens tonight!

No one delves into the darkest corners of domesticity like Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard. His expositions on the death of the American family—part obituary, part police blotter—crackle with savage wit, exhilarating brutality, and the high-stakes hubris of Greek tragedy. The Tate family is barely subsisting on a scrap of a California avocado farm. Son Wesley stands on the precarious edge of manhood, his prospects dim, while his sister Emma immerses herself in 4-H projects and horse-back fantasies. Their father Weston has driven the family deep into debt, but he's got a scheme to sell the place and start fresh. He has no idea that his wife Ella is cooking up a deal of her own.
