	Buried Child Presented by San Jose Stage Company at San Jose Stage Theater February 15-March 11, 2012 This powerful and brilliant play probes deep into the disintegration of the American Dream. Winner of the 1979 Pulitzer Prize, Buried Child is set in a squalid farm home, occupied by a family filled with suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness, all the while harboring a dark secret. Buried Child has been called one of Sam Shepard's best plays.   Buried Child Presented by San Jose Stage Company at San Jose Stage Theater February 15-March 11, 2012 Event Rating (0 votes)

  San Jose Stage again 'walks the edge' successfully. Just don't walk in thinking that this is another comedy or musical presentation. Interesting that this is an appropriate 'Halloween Season' presentation. Intriguing indicator of the Human Condition .. In this case it makes you wonder a little about the author and where his head is at. Collapse

  It's a very dark, funny and well written play. The acting was solid but lacked the edge it needed to really make you cringe, which is what this play is supposed to do. Often the tension just disappeared when it should have been at its height. There are some funny moments which make it worth the trip. I just wish they had really gone for it. I felt that the production was held up in intensity. I can only speculate as to why, but maybe they were concerned with offending the conservative audiences. Read some of the other reviews on here and you will understand why. Collapse
