  • He's Play's and movies have a real rawness mixed with such complex emotions . It is like he said in this bio... Some places are hard to go but the layer's then start showing themselves I think he masters that with such brilliance.

  • His work is just so real and raw like he said on this bio ...Hard to go into certain parts of your life but the truth is you can't hide from what makes you numb or what makes you feel.I find the simplicity so damn brilliant.

  • Admiring the time and effort you put into your video and detailed information you offer.

  • Anyone else love the bit starting at 2:14?

  • Great bio.

  • @polishbean I was thinking about this production recently, so I went to look for it today. 3rdFace/Shiva is right...it's very hard to find. It's such a good version, that it would be great if it were more available. It was Malkovich's break-out role, so his reading of it is what I'd be there for.

  • it's not impossible to buy. go buy the play. or are you complaining about having to read?

  • Sam, did it ever occur to you that making True West impossible to rent, impossible to buy, and impossible to watch online might not be the best way to market your play? Just asking.

  • Greatest American playwright of all time; his work is timeless.

  • I remember watching this the first time and I've always wanted to see it again so thanks for this.
