A stunning new play by the great American dramatist
Described by Sam Shepard as 'a takeoff on Republican fascism', this uncompromising black comedy was written just before the 2004 Us presidential election.
Frank and Emma are American dairy farmers, alone in the MidWest. Nothing ever happens. Nothing has happened for years. But now there's a mysterious man hiding in their basement and a government official has come knocking at their door.
The God of Hell had its European premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, on 20 October 2005.
'A robust new farce [that] shows Shepard's gift for finding deadpan surrealism in bucolic speech . . . As hilarious as it is sobering' New York Times
'Deliriously entertaining and deeply scary . . . A shivering work of existential mystery' Newsday
'A funny and furious stab at the Bush Administration' The Times

Sam Shepard was born in 1943 in Fort Sheridan, Illinois. He moved to New York from California just as the off-Broadway theatre scene was emerging. He has written more than forty plays, of which eleven have won 'Obie' awards, as well as collections of stories, prose writing and screenplays. His plays include Buried Child, The God of Hell, Simpatico, Curse of the Starving Class, True West, Fool for Love, A Lie of the Mind, and States of Shock. His screenplay for Paris, Texas won the Golden Palm Award at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival and he directed his own screenplay, Far North, in 1988. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Shepard received the Gold Medal for Drama from the Academy in 1992, and in 1994 he was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame.
