    Ten plus years later I am still kicking myself that I didn’t find my way to NY to see the revival of True West with Philip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly. Depending on the night the two switched roles. It was supposedly amazing.

    Truly great art. It’s an acting clinic.

    Saw this in NYC in the late 90’s with Philip Seymour Hoffman & John C. Reilly. They switch roles after every performance. Was truly amazing.

    I remember when this first aired. We couldn’t stop talking about it and quoting it. “Im on intimate terms with the prairie”!
    Great post.
