After six years away, prodigal daughter Brooke Wyeth returns to her Palm Springs Desert home to celebrate the holidays and announce plans to publish her childhood memoir – complete with revelations of deep family secrets. Retired ambassador dad, savvy mom, rehabbing aunt and ne'er-do-well brother team up to stop her and the joys of the family reunion quickly unravel in a surprising twist.
Written by Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright, Jon Robin Baitz, Other Desert Cities is a searing comedy-drama with banter that dazzles - it was described by the New York Times as "one of the most satisfying grown-up plays of the decade."
Capital Repertory Theatre in Albany, NY is mounting a production of Other Desert Cities which begins previews tomorrow. It is directed by Michael Bush. We are joined by two of the production’s stars - Ellen Parker and Kevin McGuire.
