BURIED CHILD
By
Sam Shepard

Challenging 'Buried Child' is perfect fare for
Torn Space

Director David Oliver lets the story
tell itself out, in all its horror, leaving
room for the barest of optimistic
hints that a rebirth is possible
The playwright (Sam Shepard) once said,
“I’m pulled toward images that shine in the
middle of junk.”
The same seems true for director Oliver -
thoughtful, careful - and his well chosen
ensemble. Memorable work
The Buffalo News


David Oliver gets some good performances,
and uses the set’s large upstage screen
windows to excellent effect
