Stanley Yelnats is cursed. Thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealin' great-great-grandfather, he is sentenced to hard labor in West Texas for a crime he did not commit. Between dodging poisonous yellow-spotted lizards and trying to play nice with the juvenile delinquents of Camp Green Lake, Stanley solves a 100-year-old mystery and discovers the true meaning of friendship.

Named one of the greatest plays of the 20th century by The Royal National Theatre of Britain, this gripping comedy of menace by Sam Shepard tells the story of a successful screenwriter, and his unstable drifter brother, who wrangle, reek havoc, guzzle beer, switch roles, and plunder neighborhoods in the suburbs of Southern California.
