Sam Shepard was respected as Off-Broadway’s most successful 
counter-culture playwright before he gained national notoriety as a film 
star and husband of Jessica Lang. In the tradition of Eugene O’Neill, 
Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller, Shepard probes family dynamics in 
America, yet he does so with a completely original style and with a 
modernist twist. Buried Child is a macabre look at an American 
Midwestern family with a dark terrible secret. Mysterious, humorous, and 
poetic, the work explores the inner tensions of rural existence, 
father-son relationships, and the place of women in modern America. 
Buried Child received the Pulitzer Prize in 1979.
