Actors Theatre of San Francisco presents Talk Radio. Eric Bogosian's 1987 breakthrough hit play follows abrasive, egotistical radio-show host Barry Champlain, whose edgy, argumentative style has earned him national syndication. On the eve of his talk radio show going national, Champlain -- fueled as always by coffee, cocaine and Jack Daniel's -- slowly descends into madness as he becomes overwhelmed by the stupidity and ignorance of his callers. His verbal jousts with his unseen callers, which range from a white supremacist to a woman obsessed with her garbage disposal, are peppered with insights into his character from his ex-deejay pal and his sometime girlfriend/producer, and punctuated with a transformative visit from an embodied voice. It's a passionate, funny, sharply-written drama, credited by many with foreshadowing the talk radio boom of the 1990s. Learn More

Written on May 01 2012Very much enjoyed the performance, an excellent script by David Mamet. Christian Phillips as Ricky Roma gave the best performance of the night, with Mark Bird and Frank Wiley also very solid. Would recommend. Two acts with 15 minute intermission.

Written on Apr 30 2012I particularly loved the actor who filled in for Mark Bird (pictured in advertisement). He played the role in the most magnificent, cunning way.
In addition, the lead actor who played Roma was an absolute natural...extremely comfortable in his role as well.

Written on Apr 19 2012It was an excellent show. The play is one of my son's favorites and he was really happy. The casting was really good. The tough cop actress could tone it down abit. Over a good theater experience and I will return for other shows. Thanks for asking..

Written on Apr 19 2012If one could give more than five stars, I would. Each actor was great, many were better than great, and the language may be Mamet's best--punchy, distilled from and absolutely true to the rhythms and tropes of ordinary conversation, but suggestive of things larger than ordinary life.
The theater is intimate, no bad seats, the staging minimal but effective. We were so close I wondered at times if the actors might try to sell us some Florida real estate.
The best theater I've seen in a long time.

About the Ticket Supplier: Actors Theatre of San Francisco
Founded in August of 1989 by a group of professional actors and directors who shared a common desire to produce ensemble theatre works, the founding members of the Actors Theatre of San Francisco committed themselves to creating a permanent repertory company whose work would reflect their ideals of ensemble theatre: a theatre where all the participants share the same artistic vision, have a unified approach to the rehearsal process and a desire to create revelatory theatre that surpasses their desire for individual gain. The founding members gave themselves no restriction as to style, content or period. Instead, they committed themselves to producing theatre that is designed to enlighten and illuminate the human condition.
