"SIMPATICO is laced with echoes of film noir, as if Shepard were at once trying to imitate the genre, kid it, and defuse it, replacing the violent climaxes with pleas for mercy, compassion, and the healing power of time." —Village Voice

Set in the netherworld of thoroughbred racing, SIMPATICO explores themes of memory, loyalty and restitution. When Lyle, a successful horse breeder in Kentucky, receives a desperate phone call from Vinnie, a troubled barfly living in Southern California, their shady past threatens to ruin them both once and for all. High society meets the low life in this hair-raisingly funny play by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of BURIED CHILD.

SIMPATICO stars Bill Feehely, Ross Bolen, CJ Tucker, Alice Raver, Ken Jackson and Jessika Malone.
