Alex Ferns - quotes

• "There's a lot of frustrated sexuality in this play."
• "Sam Shepard can see through the myth of the American male."
• "The entire play is a parody of the traditional western. Instead of the classic gunfight, you have the golf match. Instead of sitting by a campfire, Austin's sitting at a typewriter by candlelight; the only way you feel inspired to write is to try to recreate what the forefathers had, in terms of candlelight, the cabins, the wilderness. But it's a suburb, 40 miles from LA. There are cars going past and kids screaming in the street. That's what I mean by saying Shepard saw right through these constructed notions of America."
• "I'm not sure any of it is real. The way we're looking at the poetry of it, Lee is a creation of Austin's imagination."
