Other Desert Cities (Broadway)

Jon Robin Baitz’s brilliant contemporary drama 'Other Desert Cities' transferred to the Booth Theatre in 2011 after a record-shattering Off-Broadway run under the banner of Lincoln Center Theater, running for an astonishing 265 performances and capturing five major Tony nominations. The real-time family tragedy unfolds over a single sweltering Christmas holiday inside an elegant mid-century living room in Palm Springs, California, tracking Brooke Wyeth, a deeply blocked novelist who returns home to announce she is publishing a memoir exposing a hidden family suicide. Directed by Joe Mantello, it starred Stockard Channing.
