Three Things to Know:
- True West was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1983.
- True West was produced by the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1982, with then fairly unknown actors Gary Sinise (who also directed the production) and John Malkovich playing the leads. A television movie of the stage play, featuring Sinise and Malkovich, aired on American Playhouse in January 1984, and launched the careers of both Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.
- Shepard wrote 44 plays and earned 10 Obie awards for writing and directing.
