States Of Shock

Shepard's play, "State of Shock", turns an anniversary party into a reopening of the wounds of war, sex and family betrayal. This volume includes his screenplays for the films "Far North", which explores the gap between generations and genders, and "Silent Tongue", about white settlers in America.

Sam Shepard is 'the greatest American playwright of his generation...the most inventive in language and revolutionary in craft...the writer whose work most accurately maps the interior and exterior landscapes of his society' New York magazine
