Talk Radio

by Eric Bogosian / directed by Susan Abrams

Main Stage | February 25,26 March 4,5 11,12,13 18,19 2011

Barry Champlain, Cleveland’s controversial radio show host, is on the air doing what he does best: insulting the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. The most frightening thing? They love it. In fact, Barry’s show is so popular it’s about to go into national syndication, and his producer is afraid that Barry will say something that will offend the sponsors. This, of course, makes Barry even more outrageous. Disturbing, funny, moving, off-beat, and totally entrancing, Talk radio was adapted into a riveting film by director Oliver Stone and revived for Broadway audiences in 2007 – earning two Tony Award nominations. “A compelling work that draws you straight into the heart of its fringe world. It makes the call in show a metaphor for America’s lost souls.” – New York Newsday
