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. They
are also widely performed and studied in Europe, particularly in
Britain, Germany and France, finding both a popular and scholarly
audience. In this collection of seventeen original essays, American
and European authors from different professional and academic
backgrounds explore the various aspects of Shepard''s career - his
plays, poetry, music, fiction, acting, directing and film work. The
volume covers the major plays, including Curse of the Starving
Class, Buried Child, and True West, as well as other lesser known
but vitally important works. A thorough chronology of Shepard''s
life and career, together with biographical chapters, a note from
the legendary Joseph Chaikin, and an interview with the playwright,
give a fascinating first-hand account of an exuberant and
experimental personality.
