Sam Shepard

Open Collage in a new Window

Famous quotes by Sam Shepard:

"Honesty and courage. Also, neither of them can sing a lick. She'll be the first to admit she can't carry a melody line."

"Curse of the Starving Class."

"A Lie of the Mind"

"The Pelican Brief."

"I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer."

"In the original New York production, which I directed, I had the good fortune to encounter a bluegrass group called the Red Clay Ramblers, out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Their musical sensibilities, musicianship, and great repertoire of traditional and original tunes fit the play like a glove."

"I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write."

"We're being sold a brand-new idea of patriotism. It never occurred to me that patriotism had to be advertised. Patriotism is something you deeply felt. You didn't have to wear it on your lapel or show it in your window or on a bumper sticker. That kind of patriotism doesn't appeal to me at all."

"My father had a real short fuse. He had a really tough life - had to support his mother and brothers at a very young age when his dad's farm collapsed. You could see his suffering, his terrible suffering, living a life that was disappointing and looking for another one. It was past frustration; it was anger."

"I feel like I've never had a home, you know? I feel related to the country, to this country, and yet I don't know exactly where I fit in... There's always this kind of nostalgia for a place, a place where you can reckon with yourself."

It's been said (but unsubstantiated) that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in a standoff with the Bolivian military in 1908. In BLACKTHORN, Cassidy (Shepard) survived, and is quietly living out his years under the name James Blackthorn in a secluded Bolivian village. Tired of his long exile from the US and hoping to see his family again before he dies, Cassidy sets out on the long journey home. But when an unexpected encounter with an ambitious young criminal (Eduardo Noriega) derails his plans, he is thrust into one last adventure, the likes of which he hasn't experienced since his glory days with the Sundance Kid.

Buried Child English Theatre: Main Stage Series January 6 - 24, 2009 ur1.ca The playwright: He has been called the "elusive cowboy of American theatre," and is widely considered to be among Americas finest living playwrights. Few American playwrights have exerted as much influence on the contemporary stage as Sam Shepard. His plays are performed on and off Broadway and in all the major regional American theatres and widely across Europe. He has written over forty plays, and yet he is probably best known to the public for his many roles on film. Sam Shepard truly is an icon of the modern theatre. The play: Buried Child, the play that launched Shepards fame as a dramatist, and for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, remains as powerful, funny and scathing a commentary on the dysfunctional American family, as it was when it was first produced a recent Broadway production was nominated for two Tony Awards. The Story: Set on a run down farm in the Midwest, the play revolves around the unannounced homecoming of a long lost grandson. Vincent brings his girlfriend home to meet his folks the only problem is that the folks dont know who he is and the Norman Rockwell exterior of his grandparents farmhouse belies the disintegration of the family within and the terrible secret theyre hiding. "[Buried Child is a] mesmerizing Midwest Gothic comedy filled with the blackest of humor... a horrific yet hilarious journey into a world where blood is thicker than water -- and ...

'Curse of the Starving Class' is the centerpiece of the Stanford Summer Theater's Sam Shepard Festival. The play, written by Shepard in 1976 and first performed the following year at the Royal Court in London, is a remarkably prescient view of America in 2012. It is a darkly comic exploration of the American family psyche. As the four main characters shift into adolescence, adulthood and old age, they face the loss of their farm to debt and developers.
