Título: A Lie of the Mind
Autor: Sam Shepard
Sinopse: Winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Awards as the best play of the year, A Life of the Mind has been hailed by critics as the crowning achievement to date of the most extraordinary talent in the contemporary American theatre. It offers an unforgettable example of Sam Shepard's genius in creating characters who are at once intensely, immediately real yet archetypal in dimension. They are characters who embody and lay bare the deepest confusions and contradictions of the human soul - characters who fuse comedy and tragedy in an America that defines them even as they define it. Described by the author as "a love ballad... a little legend about love," the play fills the stage and the mind with a vision that is, in the words of Frank Rich in The New York Times, "as wide, long, deep, mysterious and unruly as the Mississippi River - a variously rending and hilarious reverie about parents and sons and husbands and wives, all blending into a mythic wilderness that has served writers from Harte, Twain and Cather to Welty, Didion and McMurtry." All of which is to say that a major American playwright has created a work of art that no reader should miss.
