A prolific playwright, Sam Shepard (1943-2017) wrote fifty-six
produced plays, for which he won many awards, including a Pulitzer
Prize. He was also a compelling, Oscar-nominated film actor,
appearing in scores of films. Shepard also published eight books of
prose and poetry and was a director (directing the premiere
productions of ten of his plays as well as two films); a musician
(a drummer in three rock bands); a horseman; and a plain-spoken
intellectual. The famously private Shepard gave a significant
number of interviews over the course of his public life, and the
interviewers who respected his boundaries found him to be generous
with his time and forthcoming on a wide range of topics. The
selected interviews in Conversations with Sam Shepard begin in 1969
when Shepard, already a multiple Obie winner, was twenty-six and
end in 2016, eighteen months before his death from complications of
ALS at age seventy-three. In the interim, the voice, the writer,
and the man evolved, but there are themes that echo throughout
these conversations: the indelibility of family; his respect for
stage acting versus what he saw as far easier film acting; and the
importance of music to his work. He also speaks candidly of his
youth in California, his early days as a playwright in New York
City, his professionally formative time in London, his interests
and influences, the mythology of the American Dream, his own plays,
and more. In Conversations with Sam Shepard, the playwright reveals
himself in his own words.
