Links Web This site var addthis_pub = 'jrp'; Extracts from an interview with Sam Shepard by Stephen Fay, published in The Sunday Times on 28 August 1984. Having identified particularly strongly with cowboys in the movies, he saw an advertisement for an actor with a group of travelling players who performed in churches. He auditioned and got the part. He then learnt that actors are more dependant on authors and directors than he liked and... began to write rather than act. "It was as though somebody was stuck somewhere and had nothing to do but whittle on a piece of wood, and all of a sudden discovered he could make sculpture."... In the late sixties he worked in clubs and played drums in a rock band... and in 1971 he came to London. Why London? "I wanted to go somewhere where they spoke English." He finally found his way back to theatre. (In this period he probably made as much money out of the dogs as he did out of his plays, even though four were produced in London — at the Hampstead Theatre Club and the Royal Court, where he directed one of them himself. ) Tony Richardson, with whom he had already worked on a film script, had introduced Shepard to the Court, where he liked working with the actors: "Very willing to explore, much more so than American actors, who are paranoid about their technique." By 1974 Shepard was homesick. He had not stopped thinking about America simply because he had left it: distance began to lend enchantment. He started talking about the endless mystery of America and the music in the language, and to wonder why he was writing American plays in London. It was time to go home...

Shepard attended high school in Duarte, California, and then a year of college at Mt. San Antonio Junior College in nearby Walnut, California, between 1960-1961 before working his way across country as a bus driver for a small theater group. Once he arrived in New York City, Shepard held a series of odd jobs, including work as a busboy at the Village Gate in 1963. The job at the legendary jazz club exposed Shepard to the early Sixties New York scene and the impassioned jazz of musicians like Thelonius Monk and Charles Mingus. Beginning in 1964, Shepard's first experimental one-act plays were produced off-off-Broadway. Plays like Chicago Icarus's Mother Red Cross (1966), and the two-act

58. Sam Shepard A biography of American playwright and actor sam shepard. http://www.theatredatabase.com/20th_century/sam_shepard_001.html

Home Ancient Theatre Medieval Theatre 16th Century ... 20th Century SAM SHEPARD (1943- ) Hailed as "the poet laureate of the American West" American playwright Sam Shepard has received critical praise, amassed numerous grants, prizes, fellowships, and awards, seen his plays produced all across the nation in venues ranging from Greenwich Village coffee shops to college campuses, regional theatres to Broadway houses, and achieved an iconic status enjoyed by only a rare few in the history of American theatre. He was born Samuel Shepard Rogers in Fort Sheridan, Illinois on November 5, 1943. His father, also named Samuel Shepard Rogers, was an Air Force pilot who had fought in World War II. During Shepard's childhood, the family shuffled between various military bases before finally settling in California, where they raised sheep and grew avocados on their farm in Duarte. In a 1986 Rolling Stone interview, Shepard described Duarte as "a weird accumulation of things, a strange kind of melting pot Spanish, Okie, black, Midwestern elements all jumbled together. People on the move who couldn't move anymore, who wound up in trailer parks." This is where Shepard spent the impressionable years of his youth, and the effect is evident in his plays. But there was a much darker spectre that haunted Shepard's adolescent yearsthat of his father's descent into alcoholism and the deterioration of the family. "My father had a real short fuse," Shepard would later tell biographer Don Shewey. "He had a really tough life had to support his mother and brothers at a very young age when his dad's farm collapsed. You could see his suffering, his terrible suffering, living a life that was disappointing and looking for another one. It was past frustration; it was anger."

60. David J. DeRose, Review Essay On States Of Shock, By Sam Shepard When it was announced a little over a year ago that a new sam shepard play, States of Shock, would be opening at New York City s American Place Theatre, http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/sixties/HTML_docs/Texts/Reviews/DeRose_States_Shoc

Vietnam Generation Journal Volume 4, Number 3-4 November 1992 Texts made available by the Sixties Project . The Sixties Project, sponsored by Viet Nam Generation Inc. and the Institute of Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, is dedicated to using electronic resources to provide routes of collaboration and make available primary and secondary sources for researchers, students, teachers, writers and librarians interested in the 1960s. States of Shock David J. DeRose , Theater Studies, St. Mary's College When it was announced a little over a year ago that a new Sam Shepard play, States of Shock , would be opening at New York City's American Place Theatre, critical circles began to buzz in anticipation. Shepard, while appearing as a leading man in several feature films over the last half dozen years, had not opened a new play since 1985. Anticipation grew even greater when it was announced that States of Shock would star John Malkovich, who first came to national attention playing the desert drifter, Lee, in Shepard's 1980 stage comedy, True West When States of Shock did open in May of 1991, critical and popular response was mixed. The play was not what audiences or reviewers anticipated from the Pulitzer prize winning playwright who had authored a string of five powerful family dramas between 1976 and 1985. The overwhelming consensus among critics and theatergoers was that the play seemed like a regression on Shepard's part, a throwback to his slap-dash experimentalism of the late 1960s. Even more perplexing to the public was the fact that the play was clearly written as a bitter outcry against America's involvement in the Persian Gulf.
