Elkabong Theatre Projects Presents:
Sam Shepard’s TRUE WEST
After a hugely successful limited run on Bowen Island, British Columbia we are bringing Sam Shepard’s classic dark comedy to Toronto!
While their mother is away, estranged brothers Austin and Lee find themselves holed up together in her California home. Austin, a disciplined screenwriter, is on the verge of a career-defining deal. Lee, a drifter with a knack for trouble, has his own ideas about success. As their rivalry escalates into a ferocious battle of wills, the lines between fact and fiction, love and resentment, creation and destruction begin to blur.
A darkly comic showdown between two sides of the American Dream—where myths unravel, family history resurfaces, and more than a few beers are cracked open.
Get ready for a wild, hilarious, and unsettling ride. This intimate, immersive production puts you right in the heart of the madness—so close, you might just smell the toast burning. Seating is limited—grab your tickets now!
