True West by Sam Shepard is a very interesting modern take on western America, in this case, California. The play is about two brothers who ultimately are responsible for changing the other's life. The play Starts out with Austin, watching his moms house and Lee his older brother coming in and rearranging Austin's life. The title "True West" makes it out to be some kind of old western stand off which is actually what it ends up being but not with guns and tumble weed.
Shepard does a good job of showing How Lee comes into Austins life and truly flips his world upside down as the seemingly switch lives and turn on each other as well as ending up collaborating on a screenplay together
