For the first time I our country, officially, the most produced play by the most awarded American author Sam Sheppard, “True West”. Have you ever caught yourself doing something that has been imposed on you by social trends, and you are focused on the image you are leaving of yourself in the eyes of the others? “True Wes”” portrays both extremes, when we really want to be a part of society, and isolate ourselves at the same time from the poorly organised world. The need to find our spot under the Sun doesn’t cease, and the pressure of “what have I done so far?” does not tone down.
Sam Shepard’s play “The True West” was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize back in 1983. As a part of this project the play was translated into Macedonian for the first time by Mario Stojanoski.
