Description

Other Desert Cities, by American playwright Jon Robin Baitz, was nominated for 5 Tony Awards and was a 2012 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Set in Palm Springs, California, the play follows well-to-do, aging Republicans Lyman and Polly Wyeth as their daughter, Brooke, a liberal-leaning writer, threatens to expose a disturbing family secret. While Lyman and Polly object to the release of the book, they're not necessarily being truthful about why. “Family drama is well-traversed territory, but Baitz has laced the story with humor and wit, political commentary (setting it in 2004 after the Iraq War is underway), sharp dialogue and an affecting premise”.
