The Family Trilogy is a trio of plays by American playwright Sam Shepard. It includes Curse of the Starving Class (1976), Buried Child (1979), and True West (1980).[1] Journalist John O'Mahony called Shepard's trilogy "arguably his greatest achievement."[2] Some critics consider the three plays part of a quintet which also includes Fool for Love (1983) and A Lie of the Mind (1985).[3]
