"A TRIUMPH OF ACTING AND STORYTELLING...EXPLODES onstage at Arizona Theatre Company. THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST PIECE

OF LIVE THEATRE I HAVE EVER SEEN."

- BroadwayWorld/Tucson

​

​

"SPECTACULAR...the play is A DUET OF SPLENETIC FURY, and Fine and Guter play it with scary and riotous intensity...Jenn Thompson’s direction keeps the leads on their feet, pacing and stalking and invading each other’s personal space, and she brings an iconic flourish to the play’s final moment."

- Phoenix Magazine

"Arizona Theatre Company’s production of Sam Shepard’s 'True West' is a POWERFUL, POIGNANT PORTRAYAL of family dysfunction and sibling rivalry punctuated with laugh-out-loud humor."

 - Arizona Daily Star

​

"A fine Arizona Theatre Company (ATC) production introduces two SUPERB

actors as the pivotal siblings. Couple these RICH PERFORMANCES with Jenn Thompson’s SHARP STAGING an A SUPERLATIVE PRODUCTION is the result."

"IGNITES THE ARIZONA THEATRE STAGE WITH EQUAL PARTS VIOLENCE AND HUMOR IN THE COMPANY'S BEST SHOW OF THE SEASON...Jenn Thompson, the director, conducts this mano-a-mano duet of violence with a defiant demand the actors keep pushing themselves to stay alive at least long enough to finish the final scene."

- Tucson Stage

 

​

"...TWO HOURS OF BRUISING AND UNBRIDLED TENSION...You’ll breathe again after the final scene, and then, only to unwind in contemplation of what you have witnessed…to have marveled at the performances of two actors

at the top of their form…to make sense of the rage and wreckage that brings brothers to the edge of madness...a TOTALLY THOUGHT-PROVOKING, GUT- WRENCHING AND SENSORY EXPERIENCE."

- BroadwayWorld/Phoenix

​

​

 "AUTHENTIC PORTRAYALS, CRISP DIRECTION AND SUPERB CREATIVE ELEMENTS...'True West' is CRACKLING WITH INTENSITY...a POWERFUL and thought-provoking production...Director Jenn Thompson has a keen understanding of the play and the characters and she brings a clear vision to the production."
