Boy meets girl, boy marries girl, boy beats the pulp out of girl, everyone wonders what to do next. This is where A Lie of the Mind, a 1980s off-Broadway play by Sam Shepard, begins — with a husband and wife and their dysfunctional and distraught families dealing with the aftereffects of his severe spousal abuse. The wife lives but is now mentally disabled. The relatives, who themselves are the worst of the worst, battle across the stage, oblivious to their own violently destructive behaviors, and take revenge. Directed by Wayne E. Robinson Jr., the intense drama is suspenseful, violent, and gripping.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
