when you have time
by Darren on Mar.02, 2009, under Darren
I don’t know if any of you have seen True West with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich when they were at the Steppenwolf theatre in Chicago. ¬†But it’s the most amazing acting you’ll ever witness. ¬†When it’s funny it’s hilarious and when it’s serious it makes you think. ¬†You can’t find it on DVD anywhere but luckily it found it’s way to youtube. ¬†You have to watch it all at once though, so here it is in parts. ¬†Malkovich is insane in this and hilarious.

i designed lights for a local production of “true west” a few years ago. it’s an awesome script…i only wish the execution of the show was as great as the steppenwolf theatre group. *~K~*

I’m not a huge Shepard fan, but this play has always been one of my favorites. The Sinese/Malkovich version is unbeatable. Although I wish I’d been able to see the Philip Seymour Hoffman/John C. Reilly version on Broadway a few years back.

I always wanted to see the Phillip Seymour Hoffman / John C. Reily version of this.

Hey, Darrin. Am I the first guy to post a comment on your blog? So I was doing some facebook bs last night, putting up photos of the Austin show, and came across this post about the same time I was thinking about watching a film.
True West, this version at least, is amazing. you mentioned JM, but Sinese, i think, really goes toe to toe with him. Especially toward the end when they’re character’s flip roles.
But I guess you just know everything ‘cuz your a big actor now, boy, huh. i know ’bout acting. what you think i don’t know.
Anyway, I’ll be in the city from the 7th to the 16th. Any shows to recommend? I’m definitely going to try and hit up the UCB theater one of the nights I’m there, but figured you might have some other good suggestions, especially dramas.

Dear Darren,
Does having a mustache give people the impression you enjoy a dirty sanchez?

p.s. we like your mustache.

Just proves the old adage. It’s an ill wind that blows no good.

Your mustache is pretty much the sexiest thing around. Just thought you should know.

Dear Darren,
Can we give Taryn a big round of applause for agreeing? And Taryn, are you opposed to a dirty sanchez?
- the Queefer
p.s. queefing durring a dirty sanchez can make a big mess!
