		West's tight style, however, is surprisingly well-suited to a short opus: his strength is in the vivid phrase, and there are examples of ingenious phrase-making in almost all of the newly collected material (including that college essay).
		West's devotion to exaggerated normality led him naturally to humor, satire, and the grotesque, but his sensibility also admitted an uncommonly generous sympathy for the weak, particularly the sick and the pretentious.
		West does not emphasize what he once called "the vicious, mean, ugly, obscene, and insane" at the expense of gentler feelings, however; his method is to exaggerate sincerity, maximizing its effect.

	True West Summary & Essays - Sam Shepard
		His popularity broadened and by the time True West appeared in 1980, many critics felt that Shepard was at the forefront of new American playwrights and, along with other dramatists such as David Mamet, Marsha Norman, and Beth Henley, was defining a new decade of theatre.
		While True West represents a continued movement in Shepard's drama toward realistic characterization, plot, setting, and dialogue, the play also has touchstones in his experimental days, retaining a number of unusual, fantastical elements—such as the grotesque violence and the startling transformations of its two main characters.
		In many circles True West was hailed as a breakthrough for Shepard, a work in which experimental drama was successfully melded with the more conventional elements of modern theatre.

	Sam Shepard and Identity
		The play True West was first staged at San Francisco's Magic Theatre in the summer of 1980, and can be read as one of Shepard's most poignant inquiries into the ironic process of working both in the film industry (he had recently appeared in the critically acclaimed film, Days of Heaven) and as a playwright.

		There are three main themes in True West: the duality of human nature, the battle within the creative process between rationality and intuition; what is the authentic West.
		The conflict in True West is unresolved, ending with the characters frozen in tableau, facing off in an uneasy, quite indelicate balance.

		True West was given a Broadway revival in 2000, a huge success due to the remarkable performances of both leads, Philip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly, who alternated in the roles of two brothers engaged in sibling rivalry of mythic proportions.
		But below the surface, True West reverberates not only with Shepard's usual miseries of family dysfunction, but with implications about the end of the frontier, both the appeal and the constraints of a structured and materialistic society, the attraction of a wilder, uninhibited life, the perverse appeal of lawlessness.
		True West, as is often the case with Shepard's plays, requires a delicate balance between the dark and the light, the menacing and the comic, in order to achieve its unique theatricality and effectiveness.
