Talk Radio March 3, 2011

TheatreWorks New Milford's 44th season will kick off in 'Talk Radio' by Eric Bogosian, a disturbing, funny, and off-beat story surrounding Barry Champlain, a controversial radio show host. Every night Barry goes on the air to do what he does best: insult the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. But Barry's on-air antics are so popular that his show is 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. 'Talk Radio' was adapted into a riveting film by director Oliver Stone and revived for Broadway audiences in 2007 - earning two Tony Award nominations. Susan Abrams directs this production.
