Curse of the Starving Class

There is a decent production of Sam Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class on at the moment, at the Signature Theatre. There's a real sheep on stage, mostly in a small cage. At one point in the action, a naked man runs through the set holding the sheep. It's an odd play and obviously reflective of Shepard's unique vision of American society. The Signature is a theater complex on 42nd Street near Broadway, housing three theaters, public spaces, and catering. It's very much like a London venue and is a very pleasant and affordable.

I don't think Shepard's works are done in London much, although I do recall a fine production of Fool for Love many years ago, with Ian Charleson and Julie Walters.
