Sam Shepard's True West at Pocket

Sam Shepard's dark comedy True West runs at the Pocket Theatre in Hot Springs August 12 through 14 at 7:30 p.m. and August 15 at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for students.
True West is directed by Chris Powers.
The show involves the clash of two sons of a desert dwelling alcoholic and a suburban wanderer. Austin, the achiever, is working on a film script he has sold to producer Sal Kimmer. Lee, a demented petty thief, drops in and pitches his own idea for a movie to Kimmer. Kimmer likes it and wants Austin to junk his current love story to write Lee's trashy Western tale. Ouch. Sibling resentments abound.
