Talk Radio Offers Free Speech in the Digital Age Talkback

Talk Radio, Eric Bogosian's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, will have a post-show talkback with members of the cast and blogger/columnists from New York Magazine and The Gothamist entitled "Free Speech in the Digital Age." It will take place at the Longacre Theatre (220 W. 48th St.) on March 20th following the 8 PM Tuesday performance.

"In the era of blogging and instantaneous mass media, what has 'free speech' become since talk radio first opened up the airwaves 20 years ago?," state press materials.

Talk Radio stars Tony Award Winner Liev Schreiber in the role of Barry Champlain. Co-starring is Stephanie March ("Law and Order: SVU"), Peter Hermann ("United 93"), Michael Laurence (The Rainmaker at Arena Stage) and Sebastian Stan ("The Covenant"). The show also features the talents of Forbidden Broadway favorite Christine Pedi, Christ Pusz, Barbara Rosenblat, Marc Thompson, Adam Seitz, Kit Williamson and Cornell Womack.

The production is directed by Robert Falls, who is celebrating his twentieth year at the helm of the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.  His recent Broadway credits include Shining City, Long Day's Journey Into Night and Death of a Salesman, for which he won a Tony Award. The design team for Talk Radio is Mark Wendland (Sets), Laura Bauer (Costumes), Christopher Akerlind (Lighting), and Richard Woodbury (Sound).
