About Talk Radio
Barry Champlain, Cleveland's controversial radio host is on the air doing what he does best: insulting the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. Tomorrow, Barry's show is going into national syndication and his producer is afraid that Barry will say something that will offend the sponsors. This, of course, makes Barry even more outrageous. Funny and moving, off-beat, outrageous and totally entrancing, Bogosian's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play still resonates almost 20 years after its Off- Broadway debut.
