Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Your fear, your own lives, have become your entertainment."-Talk Radio

"More timely today than it was twenty years ago . . . Radio crackles with intensity."-Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News

"The most lacerating portrait of a human meltdown this side of a Francis Bacon painting. . . . This revival, like the original production, allows its star to grab an audience by the lapels and shake it into submission."-Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio-his breakthrough 1987 Public Theater hit that was made into a film by Oliver Stone-has been revived in a "mesmerizing" (Newsday) production on Broadway, with Liev Schreiber playing the role of the late-night shock jock that Bogosian himself originated. The drama is set in the studio of Cleveland's WTLK Radio over the course of Barry Champlain's two-hour broadcast, being scrutinized that night by producers with an interest in taking the show national, and fueled as always by coffee, cocaine, and Jack Daniel's. Barry's jousts with his unseen callers-ranging from a white supremacist to a woman obsessed with her garbage disposal-are peppered with insights into his character from his ex-deejay pal and his sometime girlfriend/producer, and punctuated with a transformative visit from an embodied voice.

Eric Bogosian is a writer and actor who over the last twenty years has authored five full-length plays and created six full-length solos for himself, including subUrbia; Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll; Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead;and Drinking in America. He is the recipient of three OBIE Awards and a Drama Desk Award, and has toured throughout the United States and Europe.



About the Author
Eric Bogosian is the OBIE-award winning writer and performer of "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll", and "Drinking in America", as well as his plays "Suburbia" and "Talk Radio", both made into major motion pictures.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

 
4.0 out of 5 stars Bogosian is great., March 24, 2000
This review is from: Talk Radio (Paperback)
This play is very funny. There are also a number of monologues in it that can be used for auditions. Barry's struggle in the play to come off as being cocky and sure of himself is contrasted nicely with his inherent vulnerability. The monologues from all the other characters also give an interesting introspective into the life and mind of Barry Champlain. The main dialogue of the other characters in the play comes from the monologues, which create depth of character in both the person speaking, and Barry. Throughout the course of the play I am made to love, hate, feel sorry for and admire Barry. I applaud this play.
