In 1975, Shepard was named playwright-in-residence at the Magic Theatre, where he created many of his notable works, including his Family Trilogy. One of the plays in the trilogy, Buried Child (1978), won the Pulitzer Prize, and was nominated for five Tony Awards. It also marked a major turning point in his career, heralding some of his best-known work, including True West (1980), Fool for Love (1983), and A Lie of the Mind (1985). A darkly comic tale of abortive reunion, in which a young man drops in on his grandfather's Illinois farmstead only to be greeted with devastating indifference by his relations, Buried Child saw Shepard stake a claim to the psychological terrain of classic American theater. Curse of the Starving Class (1978) and True West (1980), the other two plays of the trilogy, received their premier productions. Shepard was nominated for Pulitzer prizes for Fool for Love and True West. Some critics have expanded this trio to a quintet, incorporating Fool for Love (1983) and A Lie of the Mind (1985). Shepard won a record-setting 10 Obie Awards for writing and directing between 1966 and 1984.
