Theatre Inconnu presents: A LIE OF THE MIND by Sam Shepard May 3 – May 21 Sam Shepard’s A Lie of the Mind is a play filled with enormous vitality, and humor. Prior to the play’s opening, the action is set in motion by a severe domestic beating that leaves Beth, a young wife, brain damaged; at the hands of her husband Jake.

The story is one of shifting focus between the two families – that of the victim and that of the abuser – as we experience how family members cope with the aftermath of Beth’s injury. This is a play that does not shy away from taking a gritty look at an issue all too commonly ignored.

“Mr. Shepard’s richest and most penetrating play, a 20th-century masterwork.” New York Times
