S.F.'s Magic Theatre brings Sam Shepard's latest to life. I'm no great fan of SS's works but this riff on Bushite interference in the lives of ordinary folks is done with such verve and nastiness that it really grabbed me. Terrific acting--plus Michael Santo not only has Bush's voice down, he sports (his own) look-alike unmistakable pointy arrogant nose. This one's a keeper.

Sorry, Shepard stinks and this is one of his smelliest. He uses language the way he speaks--like a backwoods cornhusker. Of all the moneymaking writers with a terrible 20-cent vocabulary, it's a tossup between Shepard or Mamet.
