Other Desert Cities
- By Jon Robin Baitz
- Directed by Timothy Bond
JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More
In this Broadway hit and Pulitzer Prize nominee, Brooke Wyeth returns home after a long absence to visit her well-connected, conservative parents in Palm Springs. In a dramatic shift, Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history — a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the desert sand and dares them all to cross it. “All family reunions should be this satisfying” said The New York Times, praising the play as a ” witty, deeply enjoyable family drama.” A co-production with Syracuse Stage in New York.
“Jon Robin Baitz’s seriously satisfying new play”
-The New York Times
