   • Buried Child (1978) Shepard proved his writing chops by winning the Pulitzer Prize for drama with this play, which launched his career. A dysfunctional farm family in the Midwest sees the American Dream disappear, their lives shattered by alcoholism and incest.
   • True West (1980) Shepard brings us another unhappy family (no two are alike). Two estranged brothers — one a screenwriter, the other a drifter and a thief — meet at their mother’s house.
   • Fool for Love (1983) A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Fool for Love takes place in a favorite Shepard setting, the desert. It has echoes of other Shepard works, an alcoholic father called the Old Man, and two former lovers, reunited in a motel, who share a shocking family secret.
   • A Lie of the Mind (1985) More bleakness from Shepard in this play which won the Drama Desk Award. An alcoholic father has abandoned his family. His son has tried to kill his wife.
