A Lie of the Mind

Blurb

A Lie of the Mind is a play written by Sam Shepard, first staged at the off-Broadway Promenade Theater on 5 December 1985. The play was directed by Shepard himself with stars Harvey Keitel as Jake, Amanda Plummer as Beth, Aidan Quinn as Frankie, Geraldine Page as Lorraine, and Will Patton as Mike. The music was composed and played by the North Carolina bluegrass group the Red Clay Ramblers.
Some critics consider the play the conclusion of a quintet which includes Shepard's Family Trilogy: Curse of the Starving Class, Buried Child, and True West, plus Fool for Love.
