BackPulitzer Prize-winning and OBIE-winning Best Play
A long-buried mystery long pulls everyone into the vortex of guilt
Will light dawn upon this family again?
A baby dies young in an American peasant family, where three generations gather under one roof. Only grandfather Dodge knows where he was buried. When his grandson Vince and his girlfriend Shelly arrive, this “buried secret” is discovered, layer upon layer, as the vortex of guilt spares no one. Can the family rid itself of darkness and embrace the light?
Pioneering American playwright Sam Shepard’s Buried Child won him the 1978 Pulitzer Prize in Drama and Best Play at the 1979 OBIE Awards. In 1996, a new Broadway production received multiple Tony nominations. This Hong Kong premiere is translated by Artistic Director Anthony Chan and directed by international artist Travis Preston, Dean of the CalArts School of Theater. Working within the frame of a realistic story but adopting surrealist and symbolist approaches, a distinguished cast of veteran company members bring this classic to the stage, striking at the core of the audience’s soul.
