True West by Lone Twin & The Table

Lone Twin & The Table present True West

“Revolutionary theatre” Time Out on ‘The Catastrophe Trilogy’

“A triumph, theatrical magic” The Times on ‘The Festival’

The infamous Lone Twin duo return from an eight-year hiatus, with a raucous re- imagining of Sam Shepard’s True West.

The original play is set in a kitchen, in a house, in a suburb, some 40 miles out of Los Angeles in the late 1970s. It tells the tale of a family storm with two brothers at its eye.

A classic study of social, cultural and political conflict and reconciliation, here True West is re-worked by Whelan, Winters and a tempestuous chorus drawn from the host venue and its local community. Hold onto your hats, it’s going to be quite a night.

Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters formed Lone Twin in 1997. The company’s work is met with popular and critical acclaim across the world. Recent productions include The Boat Project for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad and Street Dance for Sadler’s Wells and the Sydney Festival.
