...emotional territory of Simpatico, the most recent work by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard, is something familiar to Kellerman. His production last year of David Mamet's American Buffalo in the Loeb Ex explored the same realm of underworld deceit and betrayal, the same search for loyalty and friendship that marks this play. That is not to say Simpatico is a large scale retreading of the same dramatic ground Kellerman mapped so clearly last year. Sam Shepard is not David Mamet. He isn't able to maintain the same level of unshaking intensity that Mamet can create...
...only one sign stating that people will love you upon "coming out," yet I saw three signs prominently and gratuitously displaying the word "fuck."

...WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Fresh from last year's acclaimed American Buffalo, director Jesse Kellerman, costume designer Lauren Winkler and set designer John Gordon are teaming up again to bring renowned playwright Sam Shepard back to student theater. Simpatico joins a team of designers that has worked together before and an amazing cast with proven talent...
...BUZZ: This play is not only the first Shepard play to be done at Harvard in at least three to four years, but it is also a city-wide Boston premiere of Simpatico. Sam Shepard has won enough drama awards, not to mention a Pulitzer, to make his return to Harvard something to be excited about...
