The Unseen Hand: And Other Plays

About this book

If you visit Sam Shepard country expect to find bayous deserts and junkyards where dreams rust alongside abandoned 51 Chevys. Prepare to meet broken gunmen and refugees from distant galaxies slavering swamp things and California Highway Patrolmen gone high-tech and blood simple. It is a country whose creator does nothing less than renew Americas myths. And sometimes he invents them from scratch. In these fourteen darkly funny furiously energetic early works for the theater our most audacious living playwright sets genres and archetypes spinning with results that are utterly mesmerizing.
