“Wow. In our humble opinion, this is the best play on Broadway right now — the kind of intelligent reflection of current life that we used to expect from theatre. Brilliant acting from the entire cast, which remains mostly intact from last seasonʼs production at Lincoln Center. Linda Lavin is gone, but she's been replaced by the excellent Judith Light. And the intriguing Brenda Griffiths now stars too. It's a finely crafted family tale that explodes across the stage.”
Jim Taylor, WCBS Theatre Critic, Flavorpill
In Jon Robin Baitz's OTHER DESERT CITIES, Brooke Wyeth (Rachel Griffiths) returns home to Palm Springs after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents (Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach), her brother (Thomas Sadoski), and her aunt (Judith Light). 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 sand and dares them all to cross it.
