Description
In their final graduating production, the CTDPS presents the 4th Year Actors directed by Geoffrey Hyland in Sam Shepard’s award-winning play, “A Lie of The Mind”.
Hailed as Shepard’s richest and most penetrating play, ‘A Lie of The Mind’ explores family dysfunction and the nature of love set against the backdrop of the gritty America West. The story alternates between two families in the wake of a severe and life-altering incident of domestic abuse. Through the play Shepard creates an alternately amusing and haunting portrait of displaced and irreparably damaged people, of broken connections, and of chronic lapses of memory. When the mind can take no more, it clings to old-fashioned beliefs and comforting rituals…or it survives by breaking down and rewiring its pathways.
‘’A Lie of The Mind is a mesmerising, emotionally raw play that once again pulls the view into Shepard’s distinctive world of disturbed reality and hungry hearts.” – Variety.
