Buried Child (Dramatized) Audiobook

" In some ways it's like watching a train wreck. Well crafted. I'd love to see this play on the stage. "

" Holy fuck! What a brilliant play. Sobering and laugh out loud funny. "

" One of the more disturbing dramas I've read. Tres creepy. "

" Crazy play. I'm not really sure what to think. "

" A truly cryptic play that is fit for anyone who wants to have unnecessary nightmares. This is one of the plays that helps me realize why people are going to the theatre in drove these days. "

" Fun to read about a family with more issues than mine! "

" I agree with other reviewers in that the play had a promising start, but eventually degenerated into chaotic nonsense. It could, of course, be argued that this is the point Shepard wishes to convey, but any impact was lost on me. "

" A galvanic theatre piece that stands in the proud tradition of plays like Oedipus and Ghosts that use the dynamics of family life to work out man's relationship to the larger force of history "

" A Fierce 1979 Pulitzer Prize winner. A form of exorcism grappling with demonic forces in America "

" Love Shepard's disturbing twists. Rich characters, full of true terror. "

" A very interesting, and very good play. Although I did not immediatley understood everything, I could not put the book down. Everything about this is great, from story, to characters. "

" I loved it and hated it so i'm averaging it to like. It is a really really bizarre book that leaves you utterly baffled and lost but is interesting in its uniqueness. "

" I'm not even too sure what to say about The Buried Child. It was all too strange, in the backwoods kind of way. "

" This is some scary, crazy, awesome sh*t. "

" the monologue about hearing his father attempt to return under the influence is incredible. model airplanes are involved. "

" Craziness. In a good way. "

" Incredible, eerie story telling and entrancing character development over the course of the play. Freaky stuff here. "

" This play was super engrossing-- I didn't want to stop reading it. BUT it was really disturbing. I felt uncomfortable throughout most of it. I definitely think that's natural considering the main themes involved fighting for power/dominance and incest. "

" This play is one extended nightmare visit home, and I'd like to see it performed someday. There's a scene in it that I could swear was ripped off for Texas Chainsaw Massacre: the Next Generation. It's a scary, surreal read. "

" one of best plays ever. so many layers. the death of the American family...Tilden is my favorite character. "

" I have to say- this play is MESSED up. This play shows the destruction of a family from the inside out, and I was relieved when I finished it, not because it was bad, but because I couldn't wait to get out of these characters' minds. "

" The widely recognized and esteemed play of Sam Shepard's career, an imagined worse case of what could happen to one's history, role and status in the family if they drink and you don't return home for too long a time. "

" This piece is one hundred percent dark, twisted, and wonderful. I did, however, feel that after reading it I wanted to give Mr. Shepard a hug and a plate of tiny tacos to feel better. "

" I admire the scripts when they're well acted, but they're too reliant on performance to be interesting to read. And may I also add that as much as I admire Shepard (and I really do), I'm so grateful not to be living in his miserable world. "
