Red Cross by Sam Shepard

‘My head will explode, it will blow right off my body… roll down the mountain and form a giant snow ball… it rolls into the city and kills a million people!’

From the company that brought you A Reptile Dreamed and The Bearskinner comes a vivid and comic re-imaging of one of Sam Shepard’s earliest and most experimental works. A world in a constant state of alarm: a world in which characters are ruled by personal anxieties.

“It’s about fear, I think. Our innate terror of death, secreted by the unease of everyday living. We’re controlled by our fears; we’re bottled together and controlled by government, newspapers, doctors, you name it. Turning us into a bunch of hypochondriacs! Red Cross is a play of mountains made from mole-hills.” – Sam Shepard
