Buried Child
In Buried Child, Shepard addresses themes that have preoccupied him throughout his brilliant career: the breakdown of the American family, the dark side of the American Dream, and the necessity to face and come to terms with the past in order to move forward. The play takes place on a farm that is as barren as the family to whom it belongs. Dodge, the head of the clan, is a bitter alcoholic. His wife, Halie, cloaks herself in the mantle of piety but is, in fact, a hypocrite. Their sons, Tilden and Bradley, are broken and disturbed. When Tilden's son, Vince, pays a surprise visit after an absence of six years, no one knows who he is. And then there's the buried child, whose death is the play's underlying mystery.
