Critic reviews

"The Oscar-nominated Alfred Molina and Fran Guinan...pour on the testosterone in this vigorous audio version, taped before an appreciative audience. Director Simonson keeps the pace brisk but orchestrates the tempo masterfully from hot to cold and back again. Charlotte Rae as the mother does a wonderful little star turn at the end." (AudioFile)

I kept laughing because the book is funny and the audio book does a great job in pulling you in the story as if you were really there.

Engaging!

This audiobook recording with Alfred Molina is good. IMO, the definitive performance of “True West,” was the 1984 television film adaptation with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise. Considered his best play, TRUE WEST is Sam Shepard’s 1980 drama of sibling rivalry.

This is one of the best plays by the amazing Sam Shepard. The genius part of this audio performance is the direction pushes forward the comedy.
