April 15 - May 8, 2010
An Obie-award winning series of eleven monologues by the loquacious and satirical Bogosian (Talk Radio), this one-man show portrays a funny, yet bleak, landscape of the Western world. Through such recognizable characters as a cerebral panhandler; a socially conscious rock star; an aging environmentalist; and a dropout from the 60’s, SDR&R pokes fun at the excesses and absurdities of a generation weaned on rock ‘n’ roll.
Eric Bogosian is the author of two plays, Talk Radio and Suburbia as well as three Obie-award winning solos: Drinking In America; Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll; and Pounding Nails in the Floor With My Forehead. He is best known for starring as the misanthropic radio “shock-jock” Barry Champlain in Oliver Stone’s film version of his own Talk Radio (for which he received the Berlin Film Festival’s “Silver Bear"). Bogosian’s plays and solos have been staged around the world.
