Resumen del Editor

Kit Harington (Games of Thrones) and Johnny Flynn (Beast) smolder and burn as sparring brothers in Sam Shepard’s darkly comic 1980 drama. The Cain and Abel conflict is a showdown of sibling rivalry, to be sure, but also bears witness to a legacy of booze-fueled family brawls. As Harington and Flynn duel it out, they bring a cagey, wiry energy to director Matthew Dunster’s West End revival of this Pulitzer Prize finalist. The portrait of the estranged pair is a riveting study in contrasts as Harington’s successful screenwriter and Flynn’s scheming grifter explosively collide in the California desert. The scorched, arid setting is more than just a backdrop; its expanse and emptiness make it a palpable presence in a play about wounded masculinity and broken dreams. 

The live theatre production of True West was performed at the Vaudeville Theatre in London, United Kingdom, in 2019. It was produced by Joseph Smith and John Brant for Smith & Brant Theatricals and James Bierman for Empire Street Productions.   

Portions of this audio drama contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Whiny with lots of yelling and overacting

I thought I'd like it more with Kit Harrington and Sam Shepard but it was pretty dreadful. The story overflowed with angst and was a red hot mess. It resembled a dysfunctional Thanksgiving with too much cheap booze and no pie.

The Prodical Brother

Not what I expected. The story was OK, just OK. Not up to the typical audible exclusive.

what the hell was that?

Like being a fly on the wall for an argument between immature, unstable, bi-polar brothers because their mommy isn't home. ridiculous!

True family life... dysfunctional

Story filled with some twist. Over dramatic but unfortunately a realistic reflection of a very dysfunctional family.

Eugh....

I really wanted to like this as I'm a fan of Kit Harrington. However, while listening to this was like being yelled and screamed at for an hour and a half. It was miserable. Glad this was free, because I wouldn't have paid to listen to this.

West

Very dark. Not like listening to an audiobook , more like a multicast radio
production. In that vein the production is quite remarkable, but the story is unrelenting dark made even more so by the theatricality of the perfomance.
