The Alliance Theatre brings the world premiere of Phillip DePoy’s “Edward Foote” to the Hertz Stage. If you like Sam Shepard, you could end up loving this because it’s so Sam Shepard, or you could end up disliking it because no one does Shepard like Sam Shepard. Think of Shepard’s plays about love and evil, family dysfunction and poor mountain country folks. Mix “Curse of the Starving Class,” “Lie of the Mind” and “Fool for Love,” fraught with lies, abuse and incest, and you’ve got a good idea of what to expect in “Edward Foote” on the Hertz Stage at the Alliance Theatre.
A well-acted play, directed by Chris Coleman, “Edward Foote” runs through April 19 on the Hertz Stage at the Alliance Theatre.
