True West by Sam Shepard
An immersive production in an Apartment in the East Village with an Asian American cast.
This was probably more fun than anyone should be allowed to have with Sam Shepard. Tears, sweat, broken typewriters, a bunch of stolen toasters, and a whole new depth to the monologue about the lost teeth in the Chop Suey and the line “You think you’re regular?”

“Under the solid direction of Isaac Byrne, the production’s unique setting and cast — the family is Asian-American — bring fresh insight to the familiar work of American drama... a scrupulously faithful production of a terrific script: a True West defined by conservatism and adventurousness.

“What the Curious Frog Company has done with this tale is nothing short of fascinating...If you enjoy theatre, you need to see this play. If you’ve seen this play, then you need to see this production’s version of the tale…works beautifully…It is fresh, and it is wonderful…daring and brilliant” Local Theater NY
