A newly revised edition of an American classic, Sam Shepards Pulitzer Prizewinning Buried Child is as fierce and unforgettable as it was when it was first produced in 1978.A scene of madness greets Vince and his girlfriend as they arrive at the squalid farmhouse of Vinces harddrinking grandparents, who seem to have no idea who he is. Nor does his father, Tilden, a hulking former AllAmerican footballer, or his uncle, who has lost one of his legs to a chain saw. Only the memory of an unwanted child, buried in an undisclosed location, can hope to deliver this family from its sin.
