my friend and i walked through the pouring rain to see an off-broadway matinee show this afternoon. i was so excited when she called me to say that she had an extra ticket from a friend. the play was sam shepard's buried child, (with ed harris and amy madigan) which i've never seen (it's the one piece from his later plays written in the late '70's to early '80's that i hadn't seen). i wrote my master's thesis on his early plays when at college, so it was a real treat. in 2014 he had a new play produced at the same theatre we were at today. click here for an article with him on the present production.
