You have to give it to Sam Shepard. He had one vivid imagination. This play is about a man who can predict the winners in horse and dog races in his dreams. Two gangsters have kidnapped him and are making their fortune off him. I got introduced to Sam Shepard through watching True West on PBS. Sam Shepard was one of the best playwrights of the past fifty years. How many people can say they got nominated for an Oscar (he was an actor in The Right Stuff) and won the Pulitzer Prize? The man was a marvel. I have yet to read a play by him that wasn't worth reading through. His stuff was packed full of interesting ideas.
