Kicking A Dead Horse
by Sam Shepard

A solitary man digs a hole in the ground, near a dead horse.

Amidst the clutter of food and equipment stands Hobart Struther, who has ridden all the way out to the middle of nowhere on a holy mission.

But one day into his €œGreat Sojourn,€ things are looking bleak.

His horse has choked to death, he's miles away from civilization, and there's not a person around to talk to €“ other than himself.

As Hobart examines his rise €” how he built a vast art collection while ensconced in a comfortable Park Avenue lifestyle €” he digs deep into his own history, unearthing truths about his past while still struggling to find the answers he needs.

With Shepard's linguistic flair, subtle humor, and probing insights, Kicking a Dead Horse is an invigorating addition to the works of one of America's most innovative playwrights.
