Digging in.
Image Research for Curse of the Starving Class: “A whole new world…” “But we’d all be the same people.” Under one splintering roof in the desolation of the California desert, four lone wolves try to pull themselves up by bootstraps that keep breaking, seeking to escape the prisons they’ve constructed in Sam Shepard’s blistering exploration...
