VALPARAISO (2004)
by Don DeLillo

Novelist Don DeLillo’s searing, far-reaching play takes a scathing, ironic, and often laugh-out-loud funny look at our deepest needs for recognition and fulfillment, and the insidious way these desires are shaped by the forces of broadcast media. This is the way we talk to each other today, this is the way we tell each other things: in public, before listening millions, that we don’t dare to say privately.

“Fasten your seatbelts!…an apt sequel to their excellent 2002 production of Attempts on Her Life.” – San Francisco Bay Guardian
